This tells you that kftpgrabber depends on kdelibs which depends on libidn
which depends on java-config. All of those are mandatory dependencies so
there is not much you can do about it unless you are willing to look into
development... But java-config is not java so it shouldn't be a big deal
either.
On the other hand, he has set USE=-java for libidn (at least), so
why is it pulling in java-config? It doesn't make much sense, does
it? In the libidn ebuild, I find:
inherit java-pkg
And that's what pulling in java-config. Is there a way to wrap the
inherit around some "if" statements, so that "inherit java-pkg" is
only "executed" when "java" is set?
