Description Cedric Sodhi 2016-05-16 13:21:36 UTC 
This dependency is a nuisance if one wants to install a Wayland system without X11. Since Weston depends on xkeyboard-config, this will necessarily pull in X, although xkeyboard-config would work without its dependency. For reference, an exlib where this is correct:

Comment 1 Cedric Sodhi 2016-05-28 12:24:47 UTC 
In fact, xkbcomp should have RDEPEND=""
Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2016-06-04 08:33:09 UTC 
The dependency was added due to bug 375547.
It might be worth checking if the situation has changed in the meantime.

    x11-misc/xkeyboard-config: Version bump
    
    Also block incompatible libX11 and xkbcomp instead of depending on them.
