Description Alan Hourihane 2006-08-22 08:23:46 UTC 
Are cyclic dependencies allowed ?

When doing emerge -p Crypt-SSLeay, you get this...

[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.803-r1  USE="ssl"
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51

Yet when doing emerge -p libwww-perl, you get this...

[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.803-r1  USE="ssl"

I'm not sure, but are features disabled if one doesn't have the other when emerging ??
Comment 1 Peter Quantim 2006-09-26 09:28:40 UTC 
same problem on ~x86

# emerge -av libwww-perl

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Error: circular dependencies:

ebuild / dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51-r1 merge depends on

I just compiled libwww-perl without the SSL useflag to get it onto the system and reemerged it right away with the correct useflags (which has Crypt-SSLeay as new dependency). That's of course no solution but could help you to get your system up without anything missing.

Why don't put Crypt-SSLeay in pdepends?

Patch works. Thanks.
Comment 5 Christian Hartmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-02 07:00:31 UTC
