Description Daniel M. Albro 2004-05-09 03:31:37 UTC

The ebuild for the application xwrits depends on x11-base/xfree instead
of virtual/x11.  The result of this is that if you have x11-base/xorg-x11
installed and also xwrits, emerge -uvD world will try to install xfree.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with xwrits and xfree on the system
2. replace xfree with xorg
3. emerge -puvD world

Actual Results:  
Attempted to install x11-base/xfree (removing x11-base/xorg-x11).

Expected Results:  
Nothing

The following other packages have the same problem: x11-misc/dsx,
x11-misc/pypanel, x11-misc/fxred, x11-misc/sisctrl, x11-misc/unclutter,
x11-misc/chgres, x11-misc/xrootconsole, x11-themes/blueglass-xcursors,
x11-themes/golden-xcursors, x11-themes/silver-xcursors,
sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-tools, sys-cluster/torque, sys-cluster/openpbs,
net-misc/nxclient, net-misc/xf4vnc, x11-wm/flwm, dev-perl/Apache-Gallery,
media-video/sampeg3, media-video/ati-drivers, media-video/ati-gatos,
x11-misc/xwrits, media-tv/nvtv. I've left out other packages where earlier
versions have the problem but later versions do not.

In CVS.

Please create a new bug report listing all the others that need changing, remember to make sure they actualy work with Xorg. Cheers.
