Reading Ding's home page, http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~fri/ding/ , i thought that it has those dependencies. If i misunderstood, then please accept my apologies for the disturbance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. paludis --pretend --install --dl-upgrade as-needed app-text/ding 2. 3. Actual Results: These packages will be installed: * app-text/ding-1.5 {:0} [N] Total: 1 package (1 new) Expected Results: These packages will be installed: * sys-apps/miscfiles-1.4.2 {:0} [N] -minimal * app-text/ispell-3.2.06-r6 {:0} [N] * app-text/agrep-2.04 {:0} [N] * app-text/ding-1.5 {:0} [N] Total: 4 package (4 new)
These are no hard dependencies, more like suggested dependencies. ding can offer more features if agrep or ispell are installed. The README file says: "{Ding is] A Tk based Front-End to [ae]grep, ispell, dict, ..." I hope this is enough and more info isn't needed? If you disagree, I can add a note to the ebuild. Thanks.
Ah, i had missed that "front-end" description line. Sorry.
This bug is very old, but I think it should be reopened. ding now simply just does not work if agrep is not available; it is easily fixed when dev-libs/tre is installed, but of course you have to know that agrep is supplied by tre in the first place. I think at least a message explaining this should be printed on merge.
