Description Mihai Limbasan 2005-04-18 06:45:49 UTC

All wget ebuilds employ use_with socks5 in src_compile() but do not DEPEND on any package that would provide libsocks.so.0.
If wget is emerged with the socks5 USE enabled yet no SOCKS5 package is installed the merge goes ahead just fine. But if a SOCKS5 package was already installed before wget was (re)emerged and socks5 is USEd, and depclean removes the SOCKS5 package for some reason, wget breaks because of the missing libsocks.so.0.
revdep-rebuild obviously fixes wget, but this is curing the symptom.
wget should either hard-DEPEND on net-misc/dante, or if tying wget to a specific SOCKS5 implementation is not desirable then a virtual/socks5 should be introduced, with dante providing it.
