Hi guys,

thanks for you to look of my reply on this bug :)

It don't think that a virtual need to be use here. 3 softwares for a
virtual is quite less.

Why are you placing a REDEPEND instead of a PDEPEND ?
xautolock *doesn't need* on of theses software to compile. It need one
of them to be usable. Is the side, it's a post depend.
