Regardless of state of xft USE-flag, dzen links with libXft. That doesn't happen if I try to build it manually (without help of portage). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-xft" emerge =x11-misc/dzen-0.9.5-r1 2. ldd $(which dzen2) | grep libXft Actual Results: libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libXft.so.2 (0x00007f0b2f871000) Expected Results: nothing It seems the ebuild tries to edit this lines in config.mk: ##

Created attachment 383984 [details, diff] One of possible fixes
Comment on attachment 383984 [details, diff] One of possible fixes We're patching config.mk on the go already in src_configure(), so the commenting "alternatives" would mess that up.
Should be fixed now.
