Application which only use the `7z` binary can also depend on `7zip[symlink]` since it provides that binary as well. If winetricks does not use any of the p7zip libraries and only uses the binary, then the p7zip dependency can be changed to the following: || ( >=app-arch/7zip-24.09[symlink(+)] app-arch/p7zip ) Also note that upstream itself recommends using 7zip instead of p7zip since the following commit: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/commit/02a555d6b17b80f5fadbaef9a29902661fd5a77d See also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/942397
