IMHO this is one drawdack of EAPI 2 use dependencies. The ebuilds |
| 24 |
needs a package with a particular use flag but some versions of said |
| 25 |
package do not use this flag and portage gets in trouble. So this is |
| 26 |
clearly a bug. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I am not sure but a fix would be something like this: |
| 29 |
python? || ( >=dev-lang/swig-1.3.39 <dev-lang/swig-1.3.39[python] ) |
