Description Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-19 09:09:56 UTC
it seems gpm gets to be a dep in 2 places in the gpm? case and the fbcon? case.
I don't know what the best fix is, but maybe it should be double wrapped:
fbcon? ( libpng gpm? ( gpm ) )
I don't even know if that works, but I don't like gpm being pulled in despite
the -gpm USE flag

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-gpm fbcon" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge links
2.
3.

it's coz of fbcon, yeah. there's a few cases: 

regular links, no mouse
links with fb with mouse
links without fb, with mouse

sorry, but that's the best way to handle it, I'm afraid.
Comment 2 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-21 08:25:07 UTC
Would it be possible to put a little output in there telling whats going on so people don't spend an hour trying to figure out why it's adding it anyway, or even a comment in the ebuild would be better than nothing.
