Description D J Capelis 2004-04-13 14:39:16 UTC
PikDev has a dependency on XFree, this should be removed.  Portage tries to install XFree for pikdev instead of just using the existing XServer, in this case the X.org XServer.

PikDev still works with X.org when I emerged it without satisfying it's dependencies.  (Well, it was actually slightly rocky... but I doubt that was due to the change in XServer as the graphics showed up.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Using the pretend flag, attempt to emerge pikdev on any system without XFree installed
Actual Results:  
XFree was on the package list to emerge.

Expected Results:  
XFree should not have been on the list and the dependency shouldn't have existed.

Changed x11-base/xfree dependancy to virtual/x11. Thanks for the bug report.
