Description Jon Wagoner 2003-12-16 23:18:32 UTC

The Synaptics driver (x11-misc/synaptics), both versions 12.0 and 12.1, have an RDEPEND of >=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r4. Unfortunately, that ebuild was removed, so the dependency breaks.  It works fine with xfree-4.3.0-r3.

The ebuild was never there. It's made for 4.3.99, and -r4 whenever it's ready.

4.3.0-r3 already supplies the synaptics driver internally, and the synaptics package overwrites this. That's why it's RDEPEND is like that.
