Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-31 11:35:12 UTC 
Portage wants to install tcl here because of sys-libs/db, even though the use flag isn't set, also the additional nomerge line in the --tree output is rather  weird. Downgraded to 2.1.2.2 - same problem. Did not test other versions yet.

Here's an idea, look at db.eclass dependencies for USE=test ;)

Lots of people think it's weird but it solves bug 158100.

Got me, fine. ;) I was rather puzzled, not having seen such a strange /bug/ in a long time. As you know the portage bugs better - is there a feature request regarding some transparency towards the user on such "overloading" issues and what's happening within eclasses in generel? Especially blockers within eclasses I have on my mind.

We have several bug related to increasing transparency: bug 162173, bug 163684, and bug 164457.  None of those are about showing eclass relationships though.  Currently, the metadata generation phase doesn't return any information about which eclasses provide what attributes.  An automated way to visualize that would certainly be useful though...
