The dev-python/python-xlib-0.13 ebuild depends on app-text/tetex if USE="doc". This blocks app-text/texlive-core. If it is possible to generate the python-xlib documentation with other flavors of TeX than tetex, then the dependency should be changed to something else that would not block app-text/texlive-core. I'm don't know what is the correct dependency to use. However, I suspect that virtual/tetex would work. (I will try this and report back.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-python/python-xlib-0.13 2. emerge texlive-core Actual Results: [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007-r11) Expected Results: Should allow using app-text/texlive-core (and possibly other flavors of TeX) to generate documentation.
I modified the dev-python/python-xlib-0.13 ebuild, changing the app-text/tetex dependency to virtual/tetex. This unblocked app-text/texlive-core. With app-text/texlive-core installed, I successfully emerged the modified python-xlib-0.13 ebuild with USE="doc". Therefore, I believe that virtual/tetex might be a better dependency than app-text/tetex. (Perhaps a lesser TeX dependency would be even better. I don't know enough about TeX to decide.)
I corrected the dependency to virtual/latex-base, so people have a real choice. Thanks for the patience.
