Description Blake Bartenbach 2021-12-10 21:25:24 UTC
When xscreensaver is emerged with a particular set of USE flags, a broken symlink is created in /usr/bin:

/usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo -> /usr/bin/xscreensaver-settings

This appears to be a result of the -gtk and -gdk-pixbuf flags.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xscreensaver with the following set of USE flags:
USE="X fonts locking offensive opengl pam perl png systemd xft (-elogind) -gdk-pixbuf -gdm -gtk -jpeg -new-login (-selinux) -suid -xinerama"
2. run `file /usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo`
3. attempt to launch xscreensaver-demo or xscreensaver-settings

Actual Results:  
file should output:
/usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo: broken symbolic link to xscreensaver-settings

Expected Results:  
if xscreensaver-{demo,settings} is not installed due to the particular USE flag configuration, the broken symlink should not be created.
