Description Dennis Nezic 2010-06-18 03:43:55 UTC
This is perhaps a more general issue, but in particular, when ebuilding xorg-server, it ebuilds xorg-drivers before. So, with a newer xorg-server ABI, the newly-compiled drivers are useless, and have to be recompiled again :\.

Is there a way to properly sort this kind of dependency?

Reproducible: Always

xorg-drivers is already in PDEPEND. All the dependencies are correct, as far as we're concerned. The issue when updating is known and there's a portage bug for it (can't find it though, sorry).

In a nutshell, there's nothing for us to fix, that's why we strongly encourage users to manually rebuild drivers, using einfo. That's the best we can do, short of rewriting portage's dependency solver.

Thanks
