Indeed... Don't re-unmask junk that breaks tons of things just because |
| 22 |
an unused library version happens to depend on such junk. The whole |
| 23 |
virtual/x11 dumpspace for missing deps was a horrible idea since the |
| 24 |
very beginning and needs to die, now. It's already pretty overdue. It's |
| 25 |
caused hundreds and hundreds of pointless bugs about 'missing' |
| 26 |
dependencies and it's still breaking users. I could care less about |
| 27 |
fox-1.2.6-r2, having this darned virtual unmasked breaks lots more |
| 28 |
things than fox. There's no need for official QA proclamations about this. |
