Bug 237013 – games-strategy/wormux-0.7.3 requires media-libs/sdl-image to have USE="png"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jon Phillips 2008-09-07 20:38:07 UTC]

If you don't have sdl in your global use flags (or specific ones for the package media-libs/sdl-image), then it will first emerge sdl-image (which it depends on), without the png USE flag.  As wormux requires this png, it crashes on starup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove 'png' from all USE flags affecting media-libs/sdl-image
2. if media-libs/sdl-image is present, unmerge it OR emerge --newuse sdl-image 
3. emerge wormux
4. run wormux from a terminal

Actual Results:  
Terminal outputs

yes, we'll pick it up later with use-based deps.
