i try to update 'xorg-server'. I was surprised so few dependancies were pulled in as this computer was not updated in the last year. The version that came was 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.0', and the compilation failed with : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- .... checking for gcry_md_open in -lgcrypt... yes checking for SHA1_Init in -lcrypto... yes checking for OPENSSL... yes checking for SHA1 implementation... libgcrypt checking for XSERVERCFLAGS... no configure: error: Package requirements (fixesproto >= 5.0 damageproto >= 1.1 xcmiscproto >= 1.2.0 xtrans >= 1.2.2 bigreqsproto >= 1.1.0 xproto >= 7.0.22 randrproto >= 1.2.99.3 renderproto >= 0.11 xextproto >= 7.1.99 inputproto >= 1.9.99.902 kbproto >= 1.0.3 fontsproto videoproto compositeproto >= 0.4 recordproto >= 1.13.99.1 scrnsaverproto >= 1.1 resourceproto xineramaproto xkbfile pixman-1 >= 0.21.8 xfont >= 1.4.2 xau xdmcp) were not met: Requested 'fixesproto >= 5.0' but version of FixesProto is 4.1.1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can confirm with 'genlop fixesproto' that the last version installed is 4.1.1 Reproducible: Always
fixesproto was the only problem actually. After fixing the version number in ebuild and running 'repoman manifest', it now works well, triggering the install of version fixesproto 5.0 and then xorg-server emerges with no problem.
Thanks, fixed.
