if you have xorg installed prior to trying t emerge xfree86 xfree does not show up as being blocked by xorg. The other way works just fine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xorg-x11 2.emerge xfree 3. Actual Results: xfree starts emerging without a problem
Any idea, portage people? supernova ~ # grep x11-base/xfree /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.* /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2.ebuild: !x11-base/xfree /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1.ebuild: !x11-base/xfree /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2.ebuild: !x11-base/xfree /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2.ebuild: !x11-base/xfree supernova ~ # grep x11-base/xorg /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r7.ebuild !x11-base/xorg-x11 supernova ~ # grep virtual/x11 /usr/portage/x11-base/{xfree,xorg-x11}/*.ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r7.ebuild: !virtual/x11 /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r7.ebuild:PROVIDE="virtual/x11 /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2.ebuild: !virtual/x11" /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2.ebuild:PROVIDE="virtual/x11 /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1.ebuild: !virtual/x11" /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1.ebuild:PROVIDE="virtual/x11 /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2.ebuild: !virtual/x11" /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2.ebuild: !virtual/x11" /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2.ebuild:PROVIDE="virtual/x11
No clue at all. If anything, there are more blockers there than actually needed. I can't reproduce it either: jason@localhost ~ $ emerge -p xfree [blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7) [ebuild N ] app-arch/cabextract-1.1 [ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7 Geore, could you provide the output of each of the following please? # emerge info # emerge -Cp xorg-x11 xfree # emerge -dp xfree

I had a faulty motherboard that had to be RMAed and now the computer that I am using has a radeon video card. To make the long story short I had to switch from xorg 6.8 to 6.7 so the output of the commands won't the exactly the same. However, what I found out is that when I try to emerge xfree with xorg 6.7 installed it is also not blocked and portage allows you to emerge xfree along with xorg-x11. emerge -Cp xorg-x11 xfree >>> These are the packages that I would unmerge: --- Couldn't find xfree to unmerge. x11-base/xorg-x11 selected: 6.7.0-r3 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. emerge -dp xfree These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies Parent: None Depstring: x11-base/xfree Candidates: ['x11-base/xfree'] ebuild: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r8 binpkg: None - Parent: ebuild / x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r8 merge Depstring: >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.50_pre9 >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1 >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.3-r2 >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5 >=dev-libs/expat-1.95.3 >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.3-r2 >=media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1 >=x11-base/opengl-update-1.4 >=x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.4 >=sys-apps/sed-4 >=sys-devel/patch-2.5.9 sys-apps/util-linux dev-lang/perl media-libs/libpng app-arch/unzip pam?
