So, I'd suggest removing fox-1.0.* and the couple of ebuilds that depend on it: dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5 dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5-r1 dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.25 dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.29-r1 dev-python/fxpy should be removed completely, 1.0.5 states >=x11-libs/fox-1.0.17 but it plain won't compile w/ >=1.2 (the deps were fixed in -r1). Nothing depends on this package, no upstream update since 2003. dev-ruby/fxruby-1.2.2 is already stable, so 1.0.x is not needed any more anyway. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-10-28 22:27:17 0000 Looks like mabi picked up fox stuff recently, re-assigning. pclouds@gentoo.org 2006-10-29 01:10:28 0000 dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0* are gone. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-10-29 09:50:17 0000 *** Bug 79849 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** mabi@gentoo.org 2006-10-29 11:17:39 0000 Another two, that needs to get the axe are =x11-misc/pathfinder-1.0.53 and =app-editors/adie-1.0.53 depending on fox-1.0.53 [...] -done- jakub@gentoo.org 2006-10-29 11:48:31 0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Another two, that needs to get the axe are > =x11-misc/pathfinder-1.0.53 and > =app-editors/adie-1.0.53 depending on fox-1.0.53 Well, there apparently may be others, because those two above specify dependencies in a broken ("ranged") way, so won't ever get caught by pquery (nor do those dependencies work as expected). Sigh. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-10-29 12:31:57 0000 dev-util/reswrap-1.0.4 needs to die as well... jakub@gentoo.org 2006-12-07 15:59:42 0000 @python - can you please mask/kill dev-python/fxpy? kloeri@gentoo.org 2006-12-10 12:14:12 0000 dev-python/fxpy killed.
