[SOLVED] Does aalib really need libX11?

The title says it. If I do the following, I get contradicting outputs:

~> pacman -Qi aalib | grep -i "Depends On"
Depends On     : glibc  ncurses  gpm>=1.20.4  libx11

but

~> ldd /usr/lib/libaa.so.1.0.4 
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb77c2000)
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb774b000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7725000)
libgpm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.2 (0xb771f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb75d3000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77c3000)

Shouldn't libaa.so.1.0.4 link to libX11.so?

Submit a bug report. That's an incorrect dependency.

is a partially incorrect depedency. aalib supports X and it links to libx11 if libxt is present

So it's an optdep if it's using dlopen calls...

How do I see it? libxt does exist on the system... My point is that I can build aalib with --with-x=no, which gives the same ldd output, as in the OP.

libxt needs to be on the system at build time otherwise x11 support doesn't get built. Anyway, I'm fixing it right now.
