Description Daniel Bumke 2007-11-12 15:21:41 UTC

I installed quodlibet without 'trayicon' support. As a result emerging the plugin quodlibet-trayicon fails:

 * media-sound/quodlibet is missing trayicon support. Please add
 * 'trayicon' to your USE flags, and re-emerge media-sound/quodlibet.

After adding the trayicon USE flag re-emerging quodlibet fails since it tries to emerge quodlibet-trayicon first, which then fails with the above message. This makes it impossible to add trayicon support if it was initially not included.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-sound/quodlibet without trayicon USE flag
2. re-emerge media-sound/quodlibet with trayicon USE flag

Actual Results:  
Re-emerge fails since media-plugins/quodlibet-trayicon fails to install unless quodlibet already has trayicon support. Quodlibet with trayicon support depends on quodlibet-trayicon.

Expected Results:  
Perhaps quodlibet-trayicon should install regardless of support in quodlibet, but with a big warning.
