Well, maybe so. However that missing '<' is kind of important, and when |
| 22 |
playing with X-modular, the portage output really looks like the modular |
| 23 |
packages are blocking the non-existent xorg-x11-7. It's not a "matter of |
| 24 |
using portage correctly" because portage is misreporting the (phantom) |
| 25 |
problem. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As I recall, it looks like this (for example): |
| 28 |
x11-base/xorg-server-xxx [B x11-base/xorg-x11-7] |
| 29 |
which without that little '<' is, shall we say, wrong. Since (so far as I |
| 30 |
know) it arises only in the X-modular context, this is the right place for |
| 31 |
the question. (With '<' it's true but irrelevant, but portage is being |
| 32 |
misled into believing xorg-x11 is required. R. Hill addressed that issue in |
| 33 |
another post.) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Or maybe it arises elsewhere too? |
