When you are at it: Why is USE=gdbm there? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Even desktops run fine without sys-libs/gdbm nowadays; even sys-libs/db |
| 13 |
is only needed on desktops if you use libreoffice (in contrast to e.g. |
| 14 |
openoffice-bin where it is bundled, fortunately). |

| 16 |
Maybe this was different when e.g. some applications (netscape?) |
| 17 |
could use gdbm instead of berkeley's db, but nowadays, when many |
| 18 |
applications (e.g. firefox) have switched to sqlite, it seeems |
| 19 |
that gdbm is outdated. |

I have USE="-cups -gdbm ..." in make.conf on KDE desktop machines |
| 22 |
since ages and no problems with it. |
