pkg_postinst() prints a warning about potential agrep incompatibilites with app-misc/glimpse or app-text/agrep, even when USE=-agrep is given. Instead, this warning should only be output when emerging with USE=agrep.

(In reply to Zdravko Spoljar from comment #1) > [blocks B ] dev-libs/tre ("dev-libs/tre" is soft blocking > app-text/agrep-2.04-r2) This issue is not directly related, but it seems to be caused by app-text/agrep-2.04-r2 blocking dev-libs/tre instead of dev-libs/tre[agrep], i.e. it blocks tre regardless of the agrep USE-flag.
Actually, a better solution might be to just drop the warning altogether and just fix the RDEPENDS of all packages providing agrep. On one hand the warning serves no purpose when the user does not install conflicting packages. On the other hand, the blockers in RDEPEND should prevent the user from installing the conflicting packages and cause portage to output an error to the user.
