Bah, good point. I knew it was too easy. :-) It seems like at this point there is one good suggestion on the table for an immediate fix: DEPEND="..." || die Of course we all want more flexible DEPEND processing in portage, but another avenue of research for somebody is to read the ebuilds (not necessarily execute the functions) with "set -e". That doesn't solve the problem quickly enough for you, since it requires a portage change, but it would solve the general problem of calling functions from strings (so long as you only call one!)
