the idea is to have a server without x11. i've a naked gentoo and wanted to install samba. emerge -p samba shows me, that xfree 4.2.0-r12 is to be installed. maybe it should use the USE flag, but this should not be emerge by default.
add '-X' to your USE variable then
okey samba doesn't any more but emerge php does it anyway not a very good solve i think
here is my server (after i setup my USE variable): root@rux0r xsw-1.34.0 # emerge mod_php samba -ep These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies ...done!

my server is 1.2 ... what is your USE variable ?
USE="-X"
try this: `env USE="-X -qt" emerge mod_php samba -ep`
works with -X -qt BUT it has to work with only -X too.
samba has cups functionality which can be enabled/disabled by USE cups has ghostscript functionality ghostscript has functionality provided through X which can be toggled by USE mod_php has qt and X functionality which can be toggled by USE so what it comes down to is, you should setup your USE variable. if you wish to make an arguement as to why you think X should not be in the default USE variable, then go for it. either way, the current scope of the bug is 'samba should not depend on ghostscript', which is invalid (see above dependency graph) if you wish to modify the scope, then rename the bug's description and post a good arguement about segmenting profiles into 'desktop' and 'server' profiles
