Even if gd is disabled and gd-external is enabled portage still reports a conflict in which it wants to disable gd-external, no other options given. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge php-5.2.8-r1 with gd-external enabled and gd disabled 2. 3. Actual Results: no compilation as portage see both as active and in conflict Expected Results: php compiled fine with gd-external
Removing bug. I wasn't awake enough when compiling. Looking today I found that with xpm flag enabled the ebuild enabled gd as well creating the conflict.
