It should have been with /etc/portage/package.mask... emerge -Dptv --emptytree pkg will always show you the full dependancy tree for a package. And if you mask out a package, this command should also tell you which package is bringing in the dependancy. For example, if I comment out the line in my unmask that allows me to bring in x11-libs/libXpm, and try to emerge wordpress, I get: carcharias rjf # USE=xpm emerge -Deptv wordpress These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy x11-libs/libXpm have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.4.2 (masked by: package.mask) # Donnie Berkholz [EMAIL PROTECTED] (07 Aug 2005) # Modularized X, upstream release candidates For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

[gentoo-user] Why does wordpress require xterm?
I am trying to install wordpress on a machine that will become a server in a rack in a datacenter, so it does not need (nor do I want) X11 on it. Right now, emerge is happy: [gromit ~ #] emerge -uDptv world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB If I try to install wordpress, it wants to bring xterm, and therefore X11, with it: [gromit ~ #] emerge -uDptv wordpress These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Looking at the wordpress ebuild file, I do not see any reason for it to have a dependency on xterm. I'm probably missing something simple, but I just don't see it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Lance Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any suggestions would be appreciated. wordpress depends on virtual/httpd-php, which for the current x86 profile defaults to dev-lang/php, which inherits the php5_0-sapi eclass (or php5_1-sapi if you accept ~x86), which contains: xpm? ( || ( x11-libs/libXpm virtual/x11 ) ) So if you have USE=xpm, this drags in either x11-libs/libXpm or virtual/x11, but libXpm is still hard masked. So you end up depending on virtual/x11, which is satisfied currently by xorg-x11-6.8, which requires xterm. Simple enough?? ;- Try with USE=-xpm. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It is not wordpress that has the xpm USE flag, but dev-lang/php. So that should be dev-lang/php -xpm. Also, make sure that only a single entry for the package appears in package.use. For the make.conf case, well, it should work. Maybe check the output of emerge -DNuvp world, and if that doesn't help, post the output of emerge --info. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Oh also, not directly related to your question, but it sounds like you might be better off using something like USE=-* userprofiles The -* turns off all default flags (which can change when changing profiles, or when installing certain packages), so that only the flags you specifically want are on. Then I would make heavy use of package.use to turn on specific USE flags for specific packages, rather than globally enabling them in make.conf. This does take a bit more care to get right, but it can result in a very lean system, with no surprises like the x11 dependancy you had today. But be really careful if you do convert to this, and don't merge anything without examining the output of emerge -DNuvp world, and being happy with the changes it wants to make. Switching from pam to -pam has been reported to break systems, for example. Once you are happy, run the emerge for real. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Bingo -- the dev-lang/php -xpm entry solved the problem. And, as another poster suggested, I apparently did not have -xpm in place at the time that php was built, as --newuse now wants to rebuild it due to the change in that flag. Is there some tool that I should be using, or some additional emerge flag, that would help diagnose a problem like this? I tried masking the packages that were being brought in, to see if that would tell me which package had the dependency that was bringing in the extra stuff, but nothing ever pointed me at php -- virtual/x11-6.8 is as far as it would ever go. I appreciate the help and would like learn from this, and avoid bugging the list if something like this comes up again. Regards, Lance -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
