Bug 486790 – x11-misc/arandr-0.1.7.1 stable request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nico Suhl 2013-10-02 13:06:48 UTC]

arandr depends on xrandr in version 1.2 or 1.3, but RDEPEND in ebuild allows all versions.
So using the latest stable xrandr 1.4.1 will cause arandr to fail.

Reproducible: Always

Downgrading is not a solution. What is the problem with the current arandr and the new xrandr?

Oh this?

    raise Exception("XRandR 1.2/1.3 required.")
Exception: XRandR 1.2/1.3 required.

Note that `arandr --force-version' still works fine.

Let's stabilise 0.1.7.1 instead.
