It's calculator application and it's listed as a dependency in the |
| 16 |
xscreensaver ebuild in the official Portage tree: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
ssuominen@null ~/gentoo-x86/x11-misc/xscreensaver $ grep sys-devel/bc |
| 19 |
*.ebuild |
| 20 |
xscreensaver-5.29.ebuild: sys-devel/bc |
| 21 |
xscreensaver-5.30.ebuild: sys-devel/bc |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So no way to "emerge xscreensaver" without having sys-devel/bc getting |
| 24 |
installed first. |
