Bug 208049 - kde-base/kdebase-4.0.0: x11-apps/setxkbmap is not pulled in

Description:   Opened: 2008-01-29 14:20 0000 
To successfully change my keyboard layout, I had to emerge x11-apps/setxkbmap
manually.  It seems that this dependency was removed in kde-base/kdebase-4.0.0
on purpose, but I can't see why.  
In the modular ebuild, it was pulled in by kde-base/kxkb, which doesn't exist
anymore.  I don't know which modular package I should suggest to do this in
4.0.0.

We've removed dependencies we couldn't find the cause for. But you are correct.
It should be a run-time dependency.

Thanks for the report.
