doxygen-1.3.3 requires tetex for its documentation (if the USE-flag "doc" is set). canna-3.6_p4 requires ptex for its documentation. But ptex requires that tetex not be present to be installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "doc" to USE flags 2. Emerge doxygen (say doxygen-1.3.3) 3. Emerge canna (canna-3.6_p4) Actual Results: % emerge -pD --onlydeps app-i18n/canna Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (from pkg app-text/ptex-3.1.2-r1) [ebuild N ] app-text/ptex-3.1.2-r1 [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (from pkg app-text/xdvik-22.40y-r1) [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (from pkg app-text/dvipdfmx-20030813) Expected Results: I'm not sure, but either allowing ptex and tetex to coexist or allowing documenatation to use either system (perhaps with a virtual/tex?) would be better. I'm using a dialup connection, so I'm not able to see if I can actually merge canna now or whether this prevents the merge entirely.

phosphan, usata, could you please check and see if doxygen and canna respectively could be changed to use virtual/tetex instead of the specific tex packages? thanks.
doxygen belongs to dev-tools. nerdboy wrote the metadata.xml which listed me as maintainer, but I never wanted this job - seems there was some misunderstanding. Changing CC to nerdboy since there seems to be no alias for dev-tools.
doxygen should depend on virtual/tetex but canna shouldn't. canna tries to compile japanese tex files if doc USE flag is set but app-text/tetex doesn't support japanese input. canna needs to depend on app-text/ptex instead of virtual/tetex. I tested compiling doxygen with pTeX and it merged successfully, so I committed the change to CVS (though I don't want to be a maintainer of the package either ;-p). Thanks for the report.
THanks! That solved my problem (once I unmerged tetex and merged ptex), but note that there are several other packages that refer to app-text/tetex rather than virtual/tetex; I found these (using the doc USE flags), and there are more (some with the tetex flag): app-misc/tdl-1.4.1.ebuild dev-haskell/haddock-0.4.ebuild dev-haskell/haddock-0.5.ebuild dev-lisp/cmucl-18e.ebuild dev-lisp/cl-tclink-3.3.1.ebuild dev-util/darcs-0.9.10.ebuild dev-util/darcs-0.9.11.ebuild dev-util/darcs-0.9.12.ebuild net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.28.ebuild net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.30.ebuild sys-devel/oskit-20020317.ebuild
