Bugzilla Bug 124871

When I tried to emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis-0.8.1.3 on a fresh gentoo
2006.0 with modular X by doing :

> # emerge -av1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis
> 
> These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
> 
> Calculating dependencies... done!
> [ebuild  N    ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis-0.8.1.3  USE="dri -debug" 0 kB

the emerge failed on :

> In file included from init.h:60,
>                  from init.c:63:
> sis.h:178:23: GL/glxint.h: No such file or directory

I solved the problem by emerging glproto with :

> # emerge -av1 x11-proto/glproto
> 
> These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
> 
> Calculating dependencies... done!
> [ebuild  N    ] x11-proto/glproto-1.4.5  USE="-debug" 0 kB

I think that xf86-video-sis should depend on glproto.

It's not clear to me how you managed to avoid installing glproto, because mesa
depends on it, xorg-server depends on mesa, and all drivers depend on
xorg-server. This seems like a possible dependency bug in portage.

I can confirm it:

edge ~ # emerge -pv dev-php/PEAR-PEAR

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies         ...done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.4.6-r1 [1.3.6-r3] 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
edge ~ # emerge -uavDNt world

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies                                 ...done!

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Nothing to merge; do you want me to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No]
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

I've the same problem found with this packages 
'media-tv/xawtv-3.95-r1' -> depends on 'x11-libs/libFS'
'x11-libs/Xaw3d-1.5-r1' -> depends on 'x11-misc/imake'
'x11-misc/imake-1.0.2' -> depends on 'x11-misc/gccmakedep'

all the dependencies have to installed manually.

i've looked at the ebuilds and all have constructions like this:

(in xawtv.ebuild)

 [...]
 X? ( || ( (
                        media-libs/fontconfig
                        x11-libs/libFS
                        [...]
    )
[...]

Offhand, this looks like same issue as bug 133671.  Like I've said before, I
suggest || ( ( modular deps ) <virtual/x11-7.0 ) in order to head off these
kinds of circular deps.  A more robust resolver would pick the modular deps
anyways.  By using a versioned <virtual/x11-7.0 atom, it's less work for the
resolver (it doesn't have to explore the circular path that way).

The problem is clear to me, so I'll go ahead and dup it...
