Description Rafal Lalik 2008-09-07 07:18:14 UTC

x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics depends on x11-base/xorg-server which depend on x11-drivers/synaptics.

x11-drivers/synaptics depend on x11-libs/libsynaptics which is required by kde-misc/ksynaptics

x11-drivers/synaptics and x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics block each other

Maybe x11-libs/libsynaptics should depend on x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics instead of x11-drivers/synaptics now?

KSynapatic has been abandoned according to the upstream website¹, so masking it seems to be the way to go.

Maybe, but it looks like x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics (first version number is 0.15.*) is successor of x11-drivers/synaptics (last version number is 0.14.* and package include the same files). So I think only one change which is required is to change depedencies for libsynaptics.

But kde-misc/ksynaptics is working only with synaptics version <= 0.14 (so it mean x11-drivers/synaptics).

This situations should be somehow solved...
