what the title says. when I installed cvs it compiled fine. Error log: ==> /var/log/portage/media-plugins:swh-plugins-0.4.15:20080730-205649.log <== You should enable -g (or higher) for debugging! >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking swh-plugins-0.4.15.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/swh-plugins-0.4.15/work * Applying swh-plugins-0.4.15-pic.patch ...

Fix: the ebuild should depend on cvs.
Confirming issue, and confirming fix: swh-plugins compiled OK after I installed cvs.
