I wanted to emerge pandoc - with no haskell packages installed. Which fails with dev-haskell/cabal -- circular dependency. Actualy it seems that most (all?) packages in dev-haskell depend on cabal, including cabal itself. Trying to install just dev-haskell/cabal fails also with "circular dependency", and there are no USE flags to disable (none set) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete all haskell packages 2. emerge dev-haskell/cabal 3. fails with "circular dependency" Actual Results: # emerge --backtrack=30 -va --with-bdeps\=y --deep dev-haskell/cabal These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Pushed as: > 27 Mar 2014; Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org> cabal-1.18.1.3.ebuild: > Drop depend on cabal itself (bug #505844 by August Hörandl). That's a recent regression. Older ebuilds never required it. Nice catch! Thanks!
