The ebuild for media-tv/xawtv-3.94-r1 attempts to use xset as part of it's installation process, but with modular X, it should be listed as a dependency. It is not. Installing x11-apps/xset-1.0.2 allows for a successfull "emerge xawtv"
Created attachment 91534 [details, diff] patch to add xset dependency
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138606 ***
This is a diffrent bug entirley, with a proposed patch to fix the broken dependency. bug 138606 is about testing and xawttv with xorg 7, this is a specific issue with a broken dep. Once again, note that I have attached a patch that adds the dependency that fixes the problem on my machine.
No, it's about stabilizing the fixed ebuild. Read up the bug, and read the ebuild that's to be stabilized. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138953 ***
Reading bug 138606 (not 138953), it seems to me that bug 138606 asks for arch teams to mark xawtv 3.95-r1 as stable on each arch. I have read the xawtv 3.95-r1 ebuild, and have submitted a patch to fix the issue that I found with that ebuild. Please note that I am not re-opening this bug, but do wish to state my position; and would like to see the issue fixed.
(In reply to comment #5) Why are you fixing something that's fixed already? <snip> RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1 >=media-libs/jpeg-6b media-libs/libpng X?

This bug was filed on xawtv-3.94-r1, not xawtv-3.95-r1 which is where your snippet appears to come from. Good to know that the ~x86 version has fixed this problem. but untill 3.95-r1 or better is made stable, xawtv still has a untracked dependency in portage.
