Description Julien Durillon 2011-04-22 13:05:38 UTC

I'm using xorg-server-9999::x11

My problem is the following:

During the pkg_postrm, there is 

    if [[ -z ${REPLACED_BY} && -e ${ROOT}/usr/$(get_libdir)/xorg/modules ]]; then
        rm -rf "${ROOT}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/xorg/modules
    fi

Apparently, Tomas Chvatal (Yeah, git blamed him…) wrote REPLACED_BY instead of REPLACED_BY_VERSION.

Also, please fix http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/index.html#variables to put REPLACED_BY by REPLACED_BY_VERSION.
