i dont see any real value in this. plenty of packages will fail like this. |
dhclient will fail always with the following error if the 'ipv6' USE flag is enabled and CONFIG_IPV6 kernel support has not been enabled. dhclient: Error opening '/proc/net/if_inet6' to list IPv6 interfaces; No such file or directory dhclient: Can't get list of interfaces. dhclient: exiting. Recommend a check be inserted into the ebuild, something like: +inherit eutils flag-o-matic autotools linux-mod +pkg_setup() { + if use ipv6; then + CONFIG_CHECK="IPV6" + fi + linux-mod_pkg_setup +}
