This email comments on something dealing with an emerge package issue; if this is the wrong list to put that into, let me know, I'll try again.
I'm trying to emerge kde-base/kde-meta. As I ordinarily do with things I know will have lots of dependencies, I ran "emerge --pretend" on it to see if I was all right with the list of dependencies. In this case, one of the items listed was kde-base/kde-i18n-3.5.9. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the stuff that says "i18n" is referring to a version that supports a Russian character list. That's truly useless for me (and, I would think, the great majority of users in the USA). What I wanted to ask is, having that file as a default dependency of kde-meta, isn't that hugely wrong? I mean, shouldn't a user have to slect that in, not have it get installed by default? I mean, you should need to have something like that in your USE flags, shouldn't you? Or, am I getting something wrong in understanding what an app labeled with "i18n" would mean?
