I have a similar problem in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27175 |

"inherit is NEVER allowed to be conditional that way. |
| 20 |
Either you inherit, or you don't. There is no middle ground. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It can be worked around, but any auxdb variables MAY NOT be |
| 23 |
involved in bash conditional statements." |

I don't want to inherit if it isn't required, but Portage doesn't |
| 26 |
allow it ;-( And the problem is there seems no way to remove certain |
| 27 |
DEPENDs once you inherit it (in net-irc/irsii case, you cannot remove |
| 28 |
dependency to perl if you inherit perl-module). From a comment about |
| 29 |
conditional dependencies in net-im/licq-1.2.7.ebuild I thoght it is a |
| 30 |
work around to remove undesired DEPEND if USE flag is not set, but |
| 31 |
when I tried to emerge that ebuild I realised that it doesn't work :-( |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Does anyone know how to deal with the problem? |
