Recently I tried to emerge nessus and it said it requires Xfree and some other X stuff to run. Is it normal since 2.0.9 ? I hope its a bug

Problably that's a USE flag problem. Try to
Code:
emerge -pv nessus

Quote:
[ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.0.8a +tcpd -X -gtk -gtk2 -debug -prelude

See what options you are emerging with.then you can specify on USE flags what you need, ex:
Code:
USE="-X -gtk -gtk2 -debug -prelude" emerge nussus

My USE already inlude "-X -gtk -gtk2 -debug -prelude", since 2.0.8 nessus merged without X, me thinks 2.0.9 ebuild is broken somehow

From the nessus-core-2.0.9.ebuild:
Code:
DEPEND="=net-analyzer/libnasl-${PV}
        tcpd? ( sys-apps/tcp-wrappers )
        X? ( x11-base/xfree )
        !gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
        gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2* )
        prelude? ( dev-libs/libprelude )"

Thus, remove or comment out the !gtk2? line. The 2.0.8 ebuild has
Code:
DEPEND="=net-analyzer/libnasl-${PV}
        tcpd? ( sys-apps/tcp-wrappers )
        X? ( x11-base/xfree )
        gtk? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
        gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2* )
        prelude? ( dev-libs/libprelude )"

Hence the difference in behaviour.

Edit: Hmm, looking further down in the 2.0.9 ebuild it doesn't seem to use the X and gtk2 flags explicitly.

No, I was just trying to provide some further insight to lutel's problem. I am still on 2.0.7-r1, and 2.0.9 is masked so there is, of course, no guarantee that the ebuild is without flaws. Hmm, reading the changelog seems to solve it

While fixing a gtk/gtk2 problem I noticed that the GUI is not optional.

Seems like lutel may be SOL.

Well, I'd say it's a bug in <= 2.0.8 and some following misunderstanding.
See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33863 for details.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
