Hi All!
Recently I faced a very strange issue with portage. First of all - I've
xorg-x11 installed instead of xfree. Now when I do emerge -p some_x_prog
as a normal user (yes he is in portage group!) it happily informs me
about xfree as a dependencie. Same commadn as root accepts xorg-x11.
Here is output from my console:
--
svyatogor@svyatogor svyatogor $ emerge -p idesk

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5)
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/libcroco-0.5.1
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libart_lgpl-2.3.16
[ebuild N ] gnome-extra/libgsf-1.8.2
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/librsvg-2.6.4
