[gentoo-user] iptables-1.8.1 build failure

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Today's update of iptables to 1.8.1 failed here because I didn't have 
USE=nftables set. After setting that in package.use it was fine. Before I 
submit a bug report, though, I'd like to understand one thing:

$ grep nftables $(equery w iptables)
IUSE="conntrack ipv6 netlink nftables pcap static-libs"
        nftables? (
        nftables? (
        nftables? ( net-misc/ethertypes )
                $(use_enable nftables)
        use nftables && emake -C iptables xtables-config-parser.h
        if use nftables; then

Shouldn't that IUSE entry be enough to pull in nftables?
