Bug 682518 – dev-libs/glib-2.56.4 - pulls python into runtime rather than buildtime

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 667324
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Wildgoose 2019-04-04 10:22:07 UTC]

There appears to be a typo in the current dev-libs/glib ebuild. It intends to pull in dev-util/glib-utils as a BUILD time dependency, but it adds it to the RUNTIME dependencies

This patch fixes the ebuild

This is intentional and will stay as such until we are ready to remove the dep altogether. glib does NOT need glib-utils at build-time. Read tracker for details.

Note also the comment right above the RDEPEND, which is even included in your patch.
