From 1.5.15-r1: DEPEND="${RDEPEND} net-mail/mailbase !vanilla? ( dev-libs/libxml2 dev-libs/libxslt app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets || ( www-client/lynx www-client/w3m ) )" Gentoo has closed bug 174366 to add www-client/elinks into the choices for the final conditional to the RDEPEND, so please add a USE="doc" functionality so that I don't have to install lynx or w3m. Reproducible: Always
And before this bug is closed as INVALID simply because I did not specify that the whole of !vanilla? case would be included for USE="doc", in the same spirit as bug 174366, let me restate: Please add USE="doc" and include all required packages for such behavior inside its check. If more packages than || (lynx w3m) would be excluded by setting USE="-doc" then also remove them..
Please stop refilling the same bug under various summaries. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 174366 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 174366 ***
Those programs are needed to build the documentation, said documentation HAS to be built if patches are applied. It is not like w3m or lynx are such big packages for a machine that wants to run mutt with additional patches... - ferdy
