Bug 139901 – media-libs/sdl-sound seems to require sys-libs/gpm

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Budny 2006-07-10 10:04:12 UTC]

For reasons I don't understand, media-libs/sdl-sound complains when I try to emerge it and sys-libs/gpm isn't present. I don't understand why a sound library would require a console mouse server, but in any case, it breaks the ebuild if that package isn't present.

Should be an easy fix... either make sys-libs/gpm a dependency of media-libs/sdl-sound, or fix sdl-sound to not require gpm in its configuration. I'm submitting this as a bug because I don't know what the right action should be for this package.



emerge =media-libs/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1 dies with the following:

[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1  USE="flac mikmod vorbis -physfs -speex"

In the entire output of the build, this is the first time gpm is mentioned.
