Description Justin 2005-09-08 18:50:35 UTC 
the erlang ebuild as of 10.2.5 now has a DEPEND of dev-lang/tk. The problem is
that tk will pull virtual/x11 in. Which is fine unless you are running a
headless server and have no reason to install x11

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Trying to upgrade erlang from 9c-r2 to 10.2.5 causes X to be pulled im.

1. install erlang-9c-r2 
2. make sure there is no X
3. emerge erlang -puvt   



Expected Results:  
erlang should not depend on tk and it should not require virtual/x11

I am suffering from this bug as well, installing ejabberd in my headless server 
needs to pull lots of X package including xorg, which makes no sense. 
At any rate erlang's dependency on tk should be handled by either the tk flag 
or the X flag. 
Thank you.

dev-lang/erlang-10.2.7 solves this problem.  It is masked with ~arch but it will not install X or tk
