xorg-server-1.4 depends on media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi, media-fonts/font-misc-misc, and media-fonts/font-cursor-misc. xorg-server-1.6 does not. After installing xorg-server-1.6, Xephyr fails to start, with font errors. Installing these fonts makes the font errors go away. It appears, then, that Xephyr retains some dependency on these fonts, and the build's $DEPENDS is incorrect. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: bash$ Xephyr :100 ... Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' ...
Please paste the output of 'emerge --info' into a bugzilla comment to assist the maintainers in resolving this issue Additionally what package is 'Xephyr' as I do not see it in the portage tree or in any of the main overlays.
Xephyr is built by the x11-base/xorg-server package, possibly only if the kdrive useflag is enabled. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r2-i686-Genuine_Intel-R-_CPU_L2400_@_1.66GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:15:02 +0000 distcc 3.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.6, 2.5.4-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="confcache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_US en es" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/sugar /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3ds X X509 a52 aac acl acpi aiglx aim alsa amr amrr aotuv asf avahi bash-completion beagle berkdb blas bluetooth bonjour bootsplash branding bzip2 cairo ccache cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cjk cli cpudetection cracklib crosscompile crypt css cups daap dbus dirac directfb dmi dmx doc dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread dvi emacs emboss enblend encode evo exif fam fat fbcon fbsplash ffmpeg fftw firefox flac flash fortran ftp gb gcj gdbm gif gimp glitz glut gnome gnuplot gphoto2 gpm gps grammar gstreamer gtk guile gzip hal hardenedphp hdaps hddtemp hfs i8x0 iconv icq ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 ipw3945 irc isdnlog jabber jack java javascript jbig jpeg jpeg2k kdeenablefinal kdrive kerberos kpathsea ladspa lapack laptop lash latex lcms ldap libnotify lirc live mad matroska midi mikmod mime ming mjpeg mmap mmx mmxext mng mod mono mozsvg mp3 mp4 mpeg mpi mplayer mudflap musepack nautilus ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs offensive ogg openexr opengl openmp oscar pam pango pcre pda pdf perl plotutils png postscript ppds pppd python qt3support quicktime readline realmedia reflection rtc samba schroedinger sdl session shorten sift silc smp speex spell spl sqlite sse sse-filters sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tetex tga theora threads thunderbird tiff timidity toolkit-scroll-bars truetype tse3 unicode usb vcd videos vorbis wavpack wifi wma wmf x264 x86 xanim xine xinerama xml xorg xpm xulrunner xv xvid xvmc yv12 zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev joystick" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US en es" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
