Description Steve Arnold archtester

The deps are currently unresolvable and neither will build without the other in place, however, both libfm-extra and menu-cache will build in that order.

I would recommend changing the dep in lxde-base/menu-cache to libfm-extra instead of libfm *and* libfm-extra (or at least make libfm-extra the first option).

It seems this dependency was introduced here:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/lxde-base/menu-cache?id=312ab0254c4a4c576c61fdf14e17a3a7d0a603b8

CCing author and commiter, maybe they can comment on the motivation for this change.

I agree this looks wrong. Given libfm depends on libfm-extra this ||-dep seems pointless and should probably be changed back to only depend on libfm-extra.

    lxde-base/menu-cache: Simplify dependencies.
    
    There's no need for the || dependency as libfm always
    depends in libfm-extra.
