emerge acpid wants to install gentoo-sources. I have gaming-sources installed and I emerged acpid with --nodeps and it works without problems. Shouldn't this be removed from the ebuild?

Install Gaming-sources and uninstall gentoo-sources & xfs-sources 2. emerge -p acpid Actual Results: pc fuero # emerge -p acpid These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Open /var/cache/edb/virtuals and remove gentoo-sources from the line virtual/linux-sources and it will not appear as a dependency.
why do only gentoo-sources provide virtual/sources ?
Additional Comment #1 is not accurate, this line has to be added/subsitituted in /var/cache/edb/virtuals: virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-sources --> virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/your-sources-here
imho we can remove the kernel-dep from acpid at all, because acpid works with pretty much every current kernel if you enable acpi. i remember that this dep was added because it didn't work with earlier versions of the acpi-patch, but that was ages ago.
appears to be fixed in portage. closing.
