Virtualbox wants libsdl with X

[dkasak]

Hi all.

Not specifically a VM question ... more an equo / entropy / emerge question, but anyway ...

I'm trying to build virtualbox-2.0.2. It says:

* ERROR: app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-9999 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup
* virtualbox-ose-9999.ebuild, line 52: Called built_with_use 'media-libs/libsdl' 'X'
* eutils.eclass, line 1709: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* [[ -z ${PKG} ]] && die "Unable to resolve $1 to an installed package"
* The die message:
* Unable to resolve media-libs/libsdl to an installed package

So I take it portage isn't seeing libsdl ( which I have, by the way ). How do I make it see libsdl? I've tried adding 'media-libs/libsdl-1.2.13' to /etc/portage/package.provided but this doesn't seem to work. I could use equo to remove libsdl and build it via portage, but equo wants to remove lots of other things that rely on libsdl, so that's less than ideal. Or I could just use portage to build libsdl and dump it on top of the current one, but that's also less than ideal.

So what is the ideal way?

The errors are above the Error message so it helps to post the log like it says

There's nothing above. Here's the full output, including my emerge command:

Code: Select all

localhost ~ # emerge --nodeps -v virtualbox-ose

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
