Comment 1 Kelly 2004-06-09 14:56:59 UTC
At a certain point in the handbook it states that one should use the following line to install the pcmcia-cs package:

USE=¨-X¨ emerge pcmcia-cs

But when checking the dependencies with 'emerge --pretend pcmcia-cs' it doesn't show any dependencies on X anywhere. I suppose the USE=¨-X¨ can be ommited from the handbook then as it could confuse newbies. I could be mistaken though.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --prtend pcmcia-cs. => shows no dependencies on X.
Actual Results:  
shows no dependencies on X

Expected Results:  
None in particular.

Comment 2 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-09 15:20:02 UTC
pcmcia-cs does depend on X.
See the difference for yourself:

moose root # emerge -vp pcmcia-cs
                                                                                                                                                                                                
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
