Description Anton Bolshakov 2013-09-02 23:40:09 UTC

There are many packages that require
        || (
                net-analyzer/netcat6
                net-analyzer/netcat
                net-analyzer/gnu-netcat
 )

Sometimes, users hit random problems like in our bug
https://code.google.com/p/pentoo/issues/detail?id=179

I suggest to fix app-forensics/air with the workaround or create a virtual ebuild

I think this is mostly up to netmon since we own all of the netcat variants (btw initial list missed the fact that nmap provides one too).

Personally I vote no on the virtual since all of them seem to behave just a little bit differently flag wise.
