I had the same problem, when fixing fop, earlier today, and did what thought was best. But a better definition of a working xorg for runtime dependencies would be good, perhaps it is just xorg-drivers or xinit? > > BTW, shouldn't twm be added to the deps of xinit, at the same level as xterm > and xclock?
