The package x11-themes/fluxbox-styles-fluxmod-20050128-r1 depends on >=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.11. I think it's clear that instaling fluxbox styles without fluxbox does not make that much sense. But the fluxbox styles do definitely not need the fluxbox window manager for installation! I have previously (before installing the styles) installed fluxbox from portage, but then decided that I will switch to the portage overlay from the fluxbox developers. I unmerged x11/fluxbox and now when I'm running a deep update I get an unresolved dependency, because I have masked x11-wm/fluxbox (otherwise emerge would want to reinstall it for fluxmod). The output looks like this: emerge -Dua world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.11" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-wm/fluxbox-1.0.0-r2 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-wm/fluxbox-1.0.0 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.15.1-r2 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "x11-themes/fluxbox-styles-fluxmod-20050128-r1" [installed]) !!! Problem resolving dependencies for x11-themes/fluxbox-styles-fluxmod !!! Depgraph creation failed. Because x11-wm/fluxbox is an unnecessary dependency you should remove it from the fluxbox-styles-fluxmod package. It causes unnecessary problems (as you can see). Reproducible: Always
