Description Cyp 2010-01-13 15:29:59 UTC
x11-libs/libX11-1.3.2 missing dependencies on x11-libs/libXext and x11-libs/libXxf86vm.
xorg-server wants them installed, but libX11 is first in the compile order, and seems to not link without.

x11-libs/libXxf86vm pulls in x11-libs/libX11, which can't build without x11-libs/libXxf86vm, so not exactly sure how to proceed. I'm confused.

x11-libs/libXxf86vm builds with "emerge --nodeps", (had libX11-1.2.2 installed).
Hope that wasn't a bad idea...
Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2010-01-13 15:38:35 UTC
Probably you need to unmerge ghostscript for the moment,
but that output suggests somebody just got burned by depclean ?

Some things were uninstalled due to being blockers, when trying to upgrade mesa (which meant having to upgrade xorg, too). I guess x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.0.2 was one of them.

No depclean involved.

I reemerged x11-libs/libXxf86vm, in case anything broke in it when installing it with --nodeps.

libX11 depends on ghostscript to compile the manual, and ghostscript's gs is linked against X apparently, so no, libX11 should not depend on a library that ghostscript can't find. Did you run revdep-rebuild yet?

I hadn't run revdep-rebuild. I just ran it, it found some things, but nothing in any way related (just libquicktime, things like that).

"Forcing" it to build x11-libs/libXxf86vm first seems to have fixed the problem for me, and I didn't rebuild ghostscript.

I guess the problem was some bad combination of blockers and dependencies (and probably the "doc" use flag), maybe I just upgraded at the wrong time.

I don't remember now, whether it automatically uninstalled the blocked packages, or if I did it manually.

OK, so the problem went away of its own accord. :)
