Description Kai Sattler 2005-09-10 13:43:50 UTC 
This is a stage 1 Gentoo installation on an x86-i686 machine based on the
minimal CD release 2005.1.
The step "emerge system" fails where xorg-x11 is to be built, because groff cannot
be found. This happens at one of the late stages of the xorg-x11 build step.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install from minimal install CD 2005.1
2.define USE flags (see below the emerge --info output)
3.bootstrap.sh
4.emerge -e system
Actual Results:  
This is the error message:

Expected Results:  
I think groff should have been built before Xorg-x11

And here is output from emerge --info for details :

I worked around the problem as follows:

emerge system
... xorg failed
emerge groff
emerge system


Could it be that a dependency to groff in the ebuild of xorg-x11 would
solve the problem?

Sounds good.
