Indeed... Don't re-unmask junk that breaks tons of things just because an unused library version happens to depend on such junk. The whole virtual/x11 dumpspace for missing deps was a horrible idea since the very beginning and needs to die, now. It's already pretty overdue. It's caused hundreds and hundreds of pointless bugs about 'missing' dependencies and it's still breaking users. I could care less about fox-1.2.6-r2, having this darned virtual unmasked breaks lots more things than fox. There's no need for official QA proclamations about this. -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
