Description tonich 2009-05-06 11:37:34 UTC 
dev-python/jinja2-2.1.1  with USE="doc" depends on dev-python/sphinx
=dev-python/sphinx-0.6.1 depends on dev-python/jinja2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C jinja2 dev-python/sphinx
2. USE="doc" emerge dev-python/sphinx
3.

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies... done!


[nomerge      ] dev-python/sphinx-0.6.1  USE="doc -test" 
[ebuild  N    ]  dev-python/jinja2-2.1.1  USE="doc examples i18n -test" 
[ebuild  N    ]   dev-python/sphinx-0.6.1  USE="doc -test" 

 * Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/sphinx-0.6.1', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/jinja2-2.1.1', 'merge') (buildtime)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/jinja2-2.1.1', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/sphinx-0.6.1', 'merge') (buildtime)

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

 * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.



to avoid this problem jinja2 will be splitted into two packages: jinja2 and jinja2-doc

Portage will hopefully somewhen support resolution of circular dependencies.

Comment 5 Shawn Rutledge 2009-09-26 20:00:59 UTC 
It's apparently not acceptable to do without these packages anymore, so therefore this bug must be fixed.  I tried 

rm -rf /usr/portage/dev-python/sphinx

[mini][12:58:13 PM] emerge -avuND system
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-python/sphinx-0.6".
(dependency required by "dev-python/pycairo-1.8.8" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-python/pygtk-2.14.1-r1" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.11" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/librsvg-2.22.3" [installed])
(dependency required by "app-editors/emacs-23.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "dev-util/gtk-doc-1.11" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-libs/glib-2.20.5" [ebuild])

Comment 6 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-26 20:08:05 UTC 
USE="doc" shouldn't be enabled globally as it is known to cause many circular dependencies (not only between jinja2 and sphinx).

Users might run:
USE="-doc" emerge -1 jinja2 sphinx
emerge -1 jinja2 sphinx
Comment 7 Shawn Rutledge 2009-09-26 21:36:52 UTC 
You are right that USE=-doc works.
Comment 8 tonich 2009-09-29 05:41:41 UTC 
>Users might run:
>USE="-doc" emerge -1 jinja2 sphinx
>emerge -1 jinja2 sphinx

This is ugly workaround, not solution...
Comment 9 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-29 16:49:18 UTC 
(In reply to comment #8)

There is no solution which could be made in ebuilds.
