When I tried to emerge doxygen, it first tried to emerge net-snmp. It failed near the end trying to run doxygen. A workaround is to emerge doxygen with USE="-docs", followed by emerge --deep --newuse. But that can be rather painful since emerging doxygen will emerge php if you don't have it already.

Eh, doxygen doesn't depend on net-snmp at all... Reopen w/ 'emerge -pvd doxygen' output.
Created attachment 100856 [details] emerge -pvd --emptytree doxygen >& emerge.out This is the output of emerge -pvd --emptytree doxygen, showing that doxygen depends on net-snmp. If the docs USE flag is set, net-snmp requires doxygen to build.
Reopen with attached emerge output showing circular dependency.
(In reply to comment #2) > If the docs USE flag is set, net-snmp requires doxygen to > build. Of course, but doxygen doesn't require net-snmp at all. Some of the graphviz bindings finally depends on doxygen w/ USE=doc and there's nothing that we could do about it. app-doc/doxygen -> media-gfx/graphviz[php] -> dev-lang/php[snmp] -> net-analyzer/net-snmp[doc] -> app-doc/doxygen Upgrade portage to latest unstable version, it should work better. If not, shrug... nothing that could be done here ebuild-wise.
