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 ??

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
   ebuild / dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.805 merge (hard)

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.

pdepend.patch

Why don't put Crypt-SSLeay in pdepends?
