Description Andreas 2008-03-26 14:37:38 UTC
There is a bad depency conflict for the ebuild dev-lang/mmix-20060324

dev-lang/mmix-20060324:

DEPEND=">=dev-util/cweb-3.63
doc? ( virtual/tetex )"

So this ebuild depends on dev-util/cweb and conditionally on virtual/tetex, but dev-util/cweb has a depency restriction on virtual/tetex:

DEPEND="virtual/libc
        !virtual/tetex"

Not using the doc flag is no solution for people who need tetex. I removed the cweb depency from the ebuild and it compiled without problems.

Is there any reason for the cweb depency or could it be replaced by a use flag?

Reproducible: Always
