In Polish and English Gentoo documentation is clearly written that the type of errors "Error: circular dependencies" immediately reported to the Bugzilla http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap5 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/pl/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap5 "Circular Dependencies Code Listing 5.7: Portage warning about circular dependencies !!!

Suhosin is not currently available for php-5.2.17. So you can either mask dev-lang/php-5.2.17 until it becomes available or you may do as portage suggests and remove the suhosin USE flag.
The point of comment 1 was ? Anyway, suhosin should probably be a PDEPEND, as it does depend on php.
(In reply to comment #3) > Anyway, suhosin should probably be a PDEPEND, as it does depend on php. > Never mind, it is a PDEPEND. Post your 'emerge --info' - perhaps portage is wrong in deps calculation.

Thanks for reporting this. Please see bug #352560 for a discussion on why this occurs and for progress on fixing this. The php team is working on it. In the meantime, you will be able to merge php:5.2 with: USE="-suhosin" emerge php:5.2 && USE="suhosin" emerge php:5.2 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 352560 ***
Ah! Thanks for the info Matti. Another bug report indicated that suhosin didn't have an update for 5.2.17 (and the emerge error suggests the same), so I just assumed there was still no update for it. Good to know it's just portage being funky. The fix you mentioned works nicely :)
