Bugzilla Bug 204006

rox-base/rox has circular dependencies:

# emerge -pv rox

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.


Turning off the USE flags does not resolve this. "emerge --info" will be
attached shortly.

emerge --info from my system

Wow, don't know how I didn't see this earlier... Thanks!

Changed those 3 troublesome apps to PDEPEND.
