Description Michel Ganguin 2024-10-27 12:14:39 UTC

Currently, the spice-gtk ebuild rdepends on x11-libs/libX11. However, it can be build and runs with wayland and without X11.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check that libx11 is not installed: emerge -pv x11-libs/libX11
2. try install spice-gtk: USE="wayland gtk3" emerge -pv =net-misc/spice-gtk-0.42-r4
Actual Results:  
Install wants to pull in x11-libs/libX11

Expected Results:  
x11-libs/libX11 is optional
