My update world likes to install dev-java/xml-commons-external-1.3.04 which fails because "ant: command not found" which is true, because it is not installed. So I want to install dev-java/ant, but this also fails, because the first dependency also needs ant to execute. See these snippets: --snip-on-- # emerge -pv dev-java/ant These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
