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