Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Your package is runtime-depending on sys-devel/flex standing to http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/sys-devel/flex . Flex is a tool used almost always at build-time, as it generates the source code for a parser. This means that it should only be depended at build-time.

Please correct your ebuild or document why it is used as a runtime-dependency so that it will not be suspected again.

Thanks,
Diego

Fixed in CVS.

The fix is wrong. RDEPEND defaults to the value of DEPEND, so RDEPEND="" should be set.
