Description ta2002 2010-03-06 01:33:32 UTC 
The kdelibs ebuild (current stable 4.3.5) says:

COMMONDEPEND="

[...]

        !aqua? (
                >=media-sound/phonon-4.3.49[xcb]

[...]

But the phonon-4.3.80-r1 ebuild says:

RDEPEND="

[...]

        xine? (
                >=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.15-r1[xcb?]
                xcb? ( x11-libs/libxcb )
        )


So if the the xine use flag is not selected (and I don't have it enabled), then
the xcb flag in phonon makes no difference at all (and shouldn't be required in kdelibs).
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2010-07-07 18:37:31 UTC 
Unfortunately kdelibs has no xine useflag, so we cannot query it.

Introducing it only for this purpose is probably a bit too much.
Comment 2 ta2002 2010-07-08 03:08:23 UTC 
I have obviously missed something then.

If phonon gets built with xcb when needed (ie. when xine is build with xcb), then why require it in kdelibs at all?

It seems to me (but what do I know?), that removing the xcb requirement in kdelibs would work.
Comment 3 ta2002 2010-07-11 03:34:00 UTC 
Sorry to reopen this, but I really want to know (and you haven't answered) why changing (in kdelibs - now using 4.4.4) doesn't fix this bug:

[...]

        !aqua? (
                >=media-sound/phonon-4.3.80

[...]

With USE=xine, phonon (correctly) gets built to match the xcb use flag in xine. With no xine use flag, kdelibs will not require phonon built with xcb.
