Description joel schaubert 2006-08-09 08:11:34 UTC

During the X11 modular upgrade my build ran into a problem where /usr/bin/xterm was depeding upon /usr/lib/libXaw.so.8, but that library was no longer on the system.
So this caused Xserver to bail out when it tried to load up xterms.

emerge --pretend of xterm revealed that sys-apps/utempter was blocking sys-libs/libutempter and so xterm could not be emerged.

After unmerging utempter, I was able to merge xterm and now things are working.

The (possible) BUG is this --> I think there might be some depedancy problem with the new modular X ebuilds that enabled this problem to occur in the first place?
