Bug 47582 – openoffice-1.1.1 and x.org: ignoring virtual/x11?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Muchacki (RETIRED) 2004-04-12 00:20:57 UTC]

Although in the ebuild there is virtual/x11 as a dependancy AND virtual/x11 is xorg-x11 - it tries to fetch and compile xfree.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -Upv openoffice
2. Wants to fetch and compile xfree as a dependancy


Actual Results:  
It wanted to fetch xfree. 

Expected Results:  
Not fetch anything...

In /var/cache/edb/virtuals the system records which packages resolve a virtual. As you probably merged xfree somewhere in the past, xfree resolves virtual/x11. You can edit the file and replace it with xorg and it works

Unfortunatly no - I checked /var/cache/edb/virtuals twice, and all I see there is x11-base/xorg-x11. I don't think this solves the problem.

Did you make sure xorg-x11 isn't masked anymore?
If you emerged it using "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11" then, it will still be masked for emerge when trying to upgrade openoffice. To solve this add "x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86" to your /etc/portage/packages.keywords.

Yes, I noticed that it wasn't in /etc/portage/packages.keywords. Now it works just fine.
