Hi, dev-libs/glib versions 2.16.3-r1, 2.16.5, 2.16.6, 2.18.1, 2.18.2 and 2.18.3 have an optional USE, 'fam', that if is set include virtual/fam as a dependence. I don't know if there is another packages that provide virtual/fam, app-admin/gamin is one of a them. But app-admin/gamin 0.1.9 and 0.1.9-r1 (the 2 versions on stable tree) also have >=dev-libs/glib-2 as dependence, so this make a circular dependence. There is also app-admin/gamin-0.1.10 (unstable), it has: PDEPEND=">=app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10" But app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10 also has >=glib-2 as dependence. 2 workwarounds: 1) Putting -fam in package.use should resolve the problem (or as a temporary fix). 2) dev-libs/2.14.6 also don't have this problem as it don't look for fam flag. This problem was found by a user in gentoo-user-br mailing list when he tried to emerge syslog-ng, but syslog-ng needs >=dev-libs/glib-2.2... I can send his emerge --info (or ask him to put here) if it is necessary. I also don't have sure, but i think that this bug may block 245092 ?
