The question that comes up often is about graphics/gd, and hasn't been
answered wrongly, you do need xbase for that.

This question is about gd-*-no_x11 from www/php5/extensions, this is a
different matter. The no_x11 flavour should not use freetype. This is
a problem with the 4.0 package which was fixed in -current in November.

As I see it, the options for a 4.0 user who wants to work around this
problem are:

- install xbase (the simplest way),
- build a php5-gd no_x11 package on a box without X
- move to current,

> xbase IS required to be installed for some -no_x11 packages.

If you know of another example, that's broken too and needs fixing
one way or another.
