Description sam+gentoo 2021-06-27 05:35:49 UTC

There is a bug in libepoxy <= 1.5.6 that caused it to try to load libGL, even on systems without X. The fix was here https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/pull/238/files .

libepoxy 1.5.8 reverted the fix because it broke other distributions which include X.

The gentoo ebuild for libepoxy versions other than 1.5.7 should either:
 - Add a dependency to get libGL.so (maybe mesa[X] or virtual/opengl? I'm not sure.)
 - Apply a small patch (essentially the linked PR) when the X useflag is disabled.

As a wayland user, I'd have a slight preference for the latter option.
