Salix OS

Package xdotool in SBo has a missing dependency. Specifically, the package libxkbcommon (also in SBo) is required in order to compile xdotool. I guess the dependency has to be added in SBoADD, as the original SLACKBUILDS.TXT doesn't mention it. Please fix it, when you have time.

According to the SBo mailing list, this was fixed yesterday there. So, with the next batch of updates, it will be included in our repo too.

Awaiting for the update to mark it as Solved. By the way, how often Salix repositories synchronize with SBo? And what if a missing dependency is finally fixed there while it is already included in Salix's SBoADD?

They synchronize daily. But the SBo repos themselves are only updated at weekends, usually. If a dependency is in both, nothing bad will happen really. The dependency will show up twice, which by all means is exactly the same as showing up once.

Confirmed: Indeed, SLACKBUILDS.TXT now mentions libxkbcommon as a dependency for xdotool, after SBo's repositories update. Issue fixed (and it was never a Salix issue).
