Bugzilla Bug 138650

I came across this odd error while upgrading to the modular X. The
x11-libs/libXt-1.0.2 ebuild specifies x11-proto/kbproto as a DEPEND and
RDEPEND, but portage didn't merge that first. Consequently, I got the following
error:

<snip>
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for XT... configure: error: Package requirements (sm x11 xproto
kbproto) were not met:

No package 'x11' found
No package 'kbproto' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XT_CFLAGS
and XT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/libXt-1.0.2/work/libXt-1.0.2/config.log
<snip>

I am using sys-apps/portage-2.1-r1. Per the printed request from the ebuild, I
will attach the config.log. I am also going to install x11-proto/kbproto and
try again.

hey

same issue here. I'd strongly suggest however that you change the component
field you selected from "core system" to "ebuilds" as core system should only
be used for sys-* package issues and there's much more chance that someone will
look at this issue if its under the ebuild component.

ok. well, i don't see how this is a duplicate of the other bug - isn't the
other one about the xterm ebuild? - nor do I see how the bugs been resolved.
I've re-synced my tree, and get exactly the same error.

interestingly when I do an emerge -uDNvp libXt I get a different set of
dependencies to be merged. getting sick of not having X to use, so i think I'm
just going to try a --oneshot merge on libXt to get the danm thing installed. 

Theres still a bug here though.

No, the bug is about missing deps that are not missing in fact; libXt depends
on x11-proto/kbproto, read the ebuild.

emerge -1 x11-proto/kbproto would be better ;)
