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 lance@ljacobs.net -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
