Description Ștefan Talpalaru 2015-10-21 20:20:54 UTC 
The relevant change in DEPEND_COMMON:

nvidia? ( || ( media-video/nvidia-settings x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools] ) )

More details on the conflict between the 2 nvidia packages: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561700

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Ștefan Talpalaru 2015-10-21 20:30:59 UTC 
Beware that x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools] doesn't seem to install all teh files that media-video/nvidia-settings installs, leading to this error during conky's configuration:

CMake Error at cmake/ConkyPlatformChecks.cmake:338 (message):
  Unable to find XNVCtrl library
Comment 2 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2015-10-23 15:44:36 UTC 
Why should I introduce a change which doesn't work? This is obviously an issue which needs to be solved for the nvidia packages first.
Comment 3 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2016-02-01 19:34:11 UTC 
Please try depending on x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools,static-libs]. Please also test nvidia related features with conky at runtime. I can only check if it compiles as I do not own a nvidia card.
Comment 4 Ștefan Talpalaru 2016-02-03 16:49:45 UTC 
I confirm that conky's nvidia functionality works when nvidia-drivers[tools,static-libs] is installed.
Comment 5 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2016-02-13 09:39:29 UTC 
Fixed in git. Thanks for the report.
