Description Patrick Borjesson 2004-05-27 07:33:30 UTC

x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 doesn't block on x11-base/xorg-x11. This can be a problem for people that have software depending on only xfree (for example xf4vnc), which will then draw in xfree on a system which has xorg installed, overwriting almost everything that xorg installed. Removing xfree will result in most files installed by xorg will also be uninstalled. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xorg-x11
2. emerge xf4vnc

Actual Results:  
Files installed by xorg-x11 is replaced with files from xfree.

Expected Results:  
x11-base/xfree should block on x11-base/xorg-x11 and dependency-checking should
fail for xf4vnc since it depends on x11-base/xfree

I've added an explicit blocker of xorg-x11; previously it blocked virtual/x11.
