This bug should be resolved as invalid. If you emerge -C ppp, and then try to emerge networkmanager-pptp, then networkmanager-pptp's configure script fails because it needs ppp. Every package that depends on another package ought to say so.

I want to say please to forget the "runtime vs buildtime" thing since I'm not sure if it's used in buildtime by networkmanager-pptp. Fixed in networkmanager-pptp-0.9.2.0 |
