• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

x11-misc/driconf-0.9.0

I have modular X. In the ebuild: 
    || (
        x11-apps/xdriinfo
        virtual/x11
    )"

emerge --info:

Eh? So, what are you requesting? It depends on driinfo.

[Comment 2 Henrique Ferreiro 2006-02-12 13:39:09 UTC]

When I emerged it it didn't install xdriinfo. I thought that || meant any of the dependencies but not both.

No, it means either x11-apps/xdriinfo or virtual/x11. You are providing virtual/x11 somewhere like in package.provided or messing with that virtual in another invalid way.

[Comment 4 Henrique Ferreiro 2006-02-12 14:27:46 UTC]

But then it means that if I have virtual/x11 then I don't need xdriinfo and this is false.
The thing is that I have virtual/x11 x11-base/xorg-x11 in profile/virtuals because I read that I must have that with modular X.
Anyway, xorg-x11-6.8.2 provides virtual/x11 and does not depend on xdriinfo. So the dependency must be wrong.

Don't do that... it's *wrong*.

How is that relevant here? You are using modular X and are providing invalid virtual, you get invalid dep.  Reopen *if* something doesn't work for you after you removed your bogus provide so that you can get correct deps and include relevant error messages in such case.

[Comment 6 Jaak Ristioja 2006-05-08 06:53:26 UTC]

I've got virtual/x11-7.0-r2. (In reply to comment #1)
> Eh? So, what are you requesting? It depends on driinfo.

My logic tells me it needs either x11-apps/xdriinfo or virtual/x11, but virtual/x11 does not depend on nor include xdriinfo. I'm using modular X, have got virtual/x11-7.0-r2 installed but there is no xdriconf on my system.

Anyway driconf compiles just fine, but it won't run. Why not instead use:

|| (
    x11-apps/xdriinfo    
    <virtual/x11-7
)

or something similar instead?
