sys-apps/i2c-tools-3.03 pull up python and friends regardless of "python" USE flag. Probably, the problem arises because of sys-apps/i2c-tools-3.03 ebuild some uses python-related eclass. It is bad for embedded systems that should be as small as possible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get fresh embedded system 2. USE="-python" emerge-arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi -p i2c-tools 3. Whatch long fat python deps Expected Results: I expect i2c-tools to not pull python when emerged with -python. Here is the head of i2c-tool's ebuild. It s not clear for me why python is required. Eclass is just a guess. # Copyright 1999-2011 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-apps/i2c-tools/i2c-tools-3.0.3.ebuild,v 1.1 2011/01/07 20:44:42 vapier Exp $ inherit flag-o-matic toolchain-funcs distutils DESCRIPTION="I2C tools for bus probing, chip dumping, register-level access helpers, EEPROM decoding scripts, and more" HOMEPAGE="http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/I2CTools" SRC_URI="http://dl.lm-sensors.org/i2c-tools/releases/${P}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~arm ~x86" IUSE="python" DEPEND="!<sys-apps/lm_sensors-3" ...
