Bug 58844 – IceWM Ebuild requires XFree, Xorg blocks it.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Nicholas Steinberg 2004-07-29 18:13:30 UTC]

When I try to emerge IceWM, my laptop using Xorg X server (XFree not installed) won't emerge due to XFree blocking Xorg. ``emerge -uDp world'' indicates that I have the latest version of Xorg.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ``emerge xorg-x11''
2. ``emerge -p icewm''

Actual Results:  
# emerge -p icewm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

[Blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6)
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6
[ebuild N ] x11-wm/icewm-1.2.13


Expected Results:  
It should have accepted either Xserver (Xorg shouldn't have blocked XFree, it
should have been an option between either Xserver).

how did you emerge xorg-x11?  if not merged properly with the proper profile, it will not set virtual-x11, which is what icewm looks for
this is not a icewm bug, it behaves as expected and doesnt see virtual-x11 and wants to merge what the 1.4 profile tells it to merge 

/usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/virtuals shows:

virtual/x11                             x11-base/xfree

please switch profile to a proper profile and merge xorg properly
for example 'emerge /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2.ebuild'
will result in you not getting an entry for virtual-x11 and your profile in turn causes it to want to merge xfree86 which is blocked by your xorg-x11

hope this helps
