Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
masking out the dependency with /etc/portage/profile is not a problem, but why is it |
| 4 |
needed? Why is there the dependency on man-pages in diffutils? I think this question is |
| 5 |
not related to embedded, it's about a wrong dependency of a system-package. More people |
| 6 |
could hit this when they build a minimal vserver or simply don't like man. Any objections |
| 7 |
on removing this dependency? |
| 8 |
