on #gentoo a user with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" ran into the following circular dependency: * Error: circular dependencies: (dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.16::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (dev-util/pkgconfig-0.26::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (dev-libs/glib-2.28.6::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.16::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) ..a discussion with 'leio' revealed that this dep issue is fixed in gtk-doc-am-1.17 , which has been stabilized on x86 and amd64 but not on other arches. I couldn't find a stabilization bug already for gtk-doc-am-1.17 so i'm filing this one. Reproducible: Always
Aha; apparently the original bug for this circular dependency issue is bug 368301 ...
Newer gtk-doc* stabilization is covered in bug 369909
