media-gfx/xli-1.17.0-r2 wont compile if rman is not installed, should be a dependancy

Reopen with 'emerge -pv virtual/x11' and 'grep -Rni "virtual/x11" /etc/portage'  output.

Hmmm... 

Here is the info 

[ebuild   R   ] virtual/x11-7.0-r1 

grep -Rni "virtual/x11" /etc/portage
/etc/portage/package.unmask:430:>=virtual/x11-7.0
/etc/portage/profiles/virtuals:1:virtual/x11 >=xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc3
/etc/portage/package.provided:1:virtual/x11-7.0

Don't do this, ever. It breaks dependencies.  

Closing.
