Bug 109205 – xml-tv depends on xorg

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description moonlite 2005-10-13 13:25:29 UTC]

xmltv-0.39 will depend on Tk-TableMatrix and perl-tk (which in turn depends on
X) if XML_OPTS has tv_check defined.
So why does portage want to install X on my headless machine when i execute this
command?

root@starserver /home/moonlite # XMLTV_OPTS="tv_grab_se" emerge -uav --tree xmltv

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Ok, there seems to be a duplicate out there, and this seems to be because of
some portage cache needing to be removed.
This is pretty serious though. The behavior is totally unexpected for the user.
I googled for 2 hours before founding this out.

Please retest this..
