A lot of autotools based packages do explicitly search for it. I don't think they fail if it is missing though but a tinderbox run would be welcome. The reason why it is in DEPEND though is that none of these tools are required at runtime. They are needed at postinst and postrm stages which afaik makes them DEPEND on EAPI previous to EAPI 7 and BDEPEND in EAPI 7 if I'm not mistaken. -- Gilles Dartiguelongue <e...@gentoo.org> Gentoo
