Subject: [gentoo-user] Why does wordpress require xterm?

1 I am trying to install wordpress on a machine that will become a server
2 in a rack in a datacenter, so it does not need (nor do I want) X11 on
3 it. Right now, emerge is happy:
4
5 [gromit ~ #] emerge -uDptv world
6 These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
7 Calculating world dependencies ...done!
8 Total size of downloads: 0 kB

10 If I try to install wordpress, it wants to bring xterm, and therefore
11 X11, with it:
12
13 [gromit ~ #] emerge -uDptv wordpress
14 These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
15 Calculating dependencies ...done!
16 [ebuild N ] www-apps/wordpress-2.0.1 +vhosts 0 kB
17 [ebuild N ] x11-terms/xterm-207 -Xaw3d -doc -toolbar +truetype -unicode 0 kB
18 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/utempter-0.5.5.6 0 kB

23 If I install wordpress without the -D option, any subsequent emerge with
24 the -D option then wants to pull in xterm and all of that other stuff.

26 Looking at the wordpress ebuild file, I do not see any reason for it to
27 have a dependency on xterm. I'm probably missing something simple, but
28 I just don't see it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
