If --depclean doesn't remove them, then --with-bdeps=y should help. Do you have xorg-server in your world file? Do you have VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES set in make.conf? Are all packages updated if you do emerge -1uav xorg-server?

(In reply to comment #7) Ok, so it's clear that the configurations is different, so this is why we get different results. The "proper one" likely has some additional packages listed in /var/lib/portage/world. You may want to use the diff command to check for differences there. Created attachment 205884 [details, diff]
world.diff
There are differences in their worlds, but their x11* stuff are similar :-/
In attached diff I compare "failing one" with "proper", I mean:
diff -u "failing" "proper one"
(In reply to comment #9) > There are differences in their worlds, but their x11* stuff are similar :-/ Why is this bad? Different packages have different dependencies. So? :) Then, maybe the problem is that I misunderstood how --with-bdeps works, but I thought that even with --with-bdeps=n xorg-server should be updated as it's a RDEPEND (not only a DEPEND, I think) of some packages. This is the output of equery d xorg-server in "proper one": $ equery d xorg-server * Searching for xorg-server ... dev-python/pygobject-2.18.0 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) dev-python/pygtk-2.14.1-r1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/eel-2.24.1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.24.1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/nautilus-2.24.2-r3 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-extra/at-spi-1.24.1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.24.3 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager-2.22.1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) media-sound/rhythmbox-0.11.6-r1 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) media-video/nvidia-settings-180.60 (x11-base/xorg-server) net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.1.10 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.31 (<x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.99) x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5 (>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3) x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.1.3 (x11-base/xorg-server) x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.14 (x11-base/xorg-server) x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 (X ? x11-base/xorg-server) x11-wm/compiz-0.8.2-r3 (>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1) This is the output on "failing one": $ equery d xorg-server [ Searching for packages depending on xorg-server... ] dev-python/pygobject-2.18.0 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) dev-python/pygtk-2.14.1-r1 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/eel-2.24.1 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.24.1 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-base/nautilus-2.24.2-r3 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.24.3 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 (>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3) x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 (>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5) x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0 (>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99) x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 (X? x11-base/xorg-server) In both cases newer xorg-server could be installed without problems :-/ The thing is, apparently xorg-server isn't reachable through the deep RDEPEND of any of your world/system packages. This is actually a common point of confusion, since xorg-server is not listed in the RDEPEND of many packages since they are capable of using the X library to connect to a remote X server. So, the best solution in your case since you don't seem to have anything that absolutely requires an X server at runtime is to add xorg-server to your world file: emerge --noreplace xorg-server (In reply to comment #12) > The thing is, apparently xorg-server isn't reachable through the deep RDEPEND > of any of your world/system packages.

If this is the cause, it would explain why in the other setups is working, because they use nvidia-drivers and I have nvidia-settings pulled in world file (and it has xorg-server as RDEPEND) Anyway, seems really surprising to me that only this few packages has an RDEPEND on xorg-server :-O, when it's obvious that packages like: gnome-base/gdm gnome-base/gnome-light www-client/mozilla-firefox x11-apps/mesa-progs x11-wm/icewm need xorg-server (In reply to comment #13) > Anyway, seems really surprising to me that only this few packages has an > RDEPEND on xorg-server :-O, when it's obvious that packages like: > gnome-base/gdm > gnome-base/gnome-light > www-client/mozilla-firefox > x11-apps/mesa-progs > x11-wm/icewm > > need xorg-server > No, as said, they are capable of using X libraries to connect to a _remote_ X server that's running on another computer. For this reason, gentoo policy is to leave the X server out of RDEPEND. Yes, it's somewhat confusing if you don't know about the policy. However, it's not so bad given the it's easily solved by adding xorg-server to world. OK, thanks a lot for your attention and for being so kind always :-D *** Bug 296033 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
