What about packages such as bzip2, xz-utils, or really, app-arch/*? Also, on a related note, would it be appropriate to report the following undeclared deps, given that the package in question already has DEPEND for gtk+? * Checking app-arch/guitar-0.1.4 for undeclared dependencies * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libX11 * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libXi.so.6 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libXi * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libXext * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libxcb * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libXau.so.6 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libXau * /usr/bin/guitar links to /usr/lib64/libXdmcp.so.6 * Missing dependency on x11-libs/libXdmcp Best regards, Michael
