lyx-1.2.3 depends on media-libs/xpm but this dependency isnt in the ebuild file... thank you felix
Why do you say that? AFAICS it only needs libXpm which is part of xfree. Maybe I'm mixing the two?
qpkg -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 shows : media-libs/xpm * x11-base/xfree * then emerge -C xpm (version 3.4k-1) and libXpm.so.4* is gone, lyx is broken. Maybe a problem with portage ?!? Why does both packages provide the same file ?
Indeed, this shouldn't be so. A search finds bug #1446, but for some reason the xpm wasn't removed or fixed or at least masked. I've reopened that bug with appropriate comments.
No point in keeping this open separately from that... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1446 ***
