I installed the modular xorg-x11 (version 7.0-r1) with VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" and INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse". I later removed it (and all the related modular-related packages) and deleted the entries I had added in /etc/portage/package.unmask But now when I do "emerge world --update --deep --newuse" I get the following output: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies s !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-base/xorg-server" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.1-r4 (masked by: package.mask) # Donnie Berkholz <spyderous@gentoo.org> (07 Aug 2005) # Modularized X, upstream release candidates For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.12.0" [ebuild]) !!! Problem resolving dependencies for x11-terms/gnome-terminal !!! Depgraph creation failed. And I find that libgnomecanvas is being installed with the USE="X" and looking at /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.12.0 I find the following in the DEPEND line X? ( || ( x11-base/xorg-server virtual/x11 ) ) But for some reason everytime it picks out xorg-server instead of virtual/x11 as the dependency (despite the fact that I did install virtual/x11).
