Description H C 2008-08-29 20:26:20 UTC

Emerging trac with sqlite use flag set doesn't automatically install pysqlite dependency.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't have pysqlite installed.
2. USE='sqlite' emerge -v trac

Actual Results:  
It fails to emerge trac because:
 
* To use the sqlite database backend, you must either:
 * - build dev-lang/python with sqlite support, using the 'sqlite'
 *   USE flag, or
 * - emerge dev-python/pysqlite

Expected Results:  
It should automatically know to pull pysqlite in as a dependency because of the USE flag set.

If you install pysqlite it will not complain, but to me it seems like this is a bug as it should be 'smart' enough to know to emerge pysqlite if it needs it.

It should, yes. Unfortunately Portage still doesn't feature use dependencies.

Well, we've got USE deps (bug 2272) but they're not yet available in a stable EAPI.
