I confirm that merging kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi ahead of kdebase allows kdebase to compile, so please change the deps for kdebase? Looking at the full deptree from when I first ran emerge -u kde, I see that the kdelibs has a PDEPEND on kdnssd-avahi, and it scheduled it way later than kdebase.

This is a dupe of Bug 180045 (and if you read that one, Comment #12, Comment #14 and others still stand, kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi shouldn't be a separate ebuild at all). No clue if this is a 2.1.3.19 regression, do you get better ordering w/ say 2.1.3.16 or some other version?
Ah, reading that one, and zmedico's code. I can see how it would still be triggerable. 1. emerge kdelibs, ctrl-c before PDEPENDS are installed. 2. emerge kde (my output below is the install order). I'm pretty sure that kdebase should declare it's dependancy on kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi since it links against it.
*** Bug 200646 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fresh install of gentoo-2007.0 amd64 with emerge kde-meta hit this dependency bug while building libkdegames-3.5.8 . emerge kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi worked around, as suggested.
(In reply to comment #5) > I'm pretty sure that kdebase should declare it's dependancy on > kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi since it links against it. When you look at kdelibs, you see the dependency has to be there. The real problem is that runtime dependencies aren't always built beforehand, unless there is some cyclic depend/rdepend issue. This would mean, we'd get rid of PDEPEND entirely, btw.. Reassiging, as its a persisting Portage problem...
(In reply to comment #8) > When you look at kdelibs, you see the dependency has to be there.

You're right that the merge order isn't as optimal as it could be in this case. However, I suggest that you add an explicit dependency to kdebase as a workaround for this bug.
(In reply to comment #9) > However, I suggest that you add an explicit dependency to kdebase as a > workaround for this bug. It's a use dependency DEPEND"kde-base/kdelibs[avahi]? ( kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi)" or whatever the syntax would be and it isn't just kdebase that is affected. Is actually anyone working on use dependencies atm.? It's in pratice the no.1 problem - I value it even higher than missing reverse dependency support.
Yes, I am working on dependencies among other things (bug 155723 tracks dependency issues). I'll get this bug fixed eventually. It's going to require some more advanced state tracking than what we have now, similar to what's needed for bug 172812. Basically, we need to consider packages that are installed but have missing dependencies as "unrunnable".

Getting KDE out of this bug as it should be mostly fixed by now.
Fell into this bug while installing kdebase-meta (fresh AMD64 install). Using 'emerge -1 kdnssd-avahi && emerge kdebase-meta' as a workaround overcomes this problem. Is this bug still listed for resolution? Packages in use (or to be merged): kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.10 kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2-r1 sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.13

Yes, we'll get it fixed eventually. However, it seems like the existing code that's in portage-2.1.6.13 should have handled this case correctly. I'll have to try and reproduce this to see if I can understand why it wasn't handled in your case. If you are able to reproduce the incorrect merge order calculation, then please attach emerge --pretend --debug output.

This extends runtime cycle handling to also handle buildtime cycles in cases where the buildtime dependencies happen to be satisfied by installed packages. In situations when this is necessary, it is desirable to rely on the old installed instances of these packages as little as possible, since they might have been broken by the upgrade of a package that is a member of the dependency cycle. Upgrading members of the cycle as a group effectively minimizes reliance on the old installed package instances, avoiding some cases of bug 199856. For example, it should avoid bug 703676, where libspectre reportedly failed to build against an old installed instance of ghostscript-gpl.

This bug tends to be triggered by circular dependencies, and it's solution will involve changes in circular dependency handling. When a circular dependency is encountered during build planning, it will have to create a dependency graph modeling the state of installed packages at a particular moment during the merge process, which it can use to predict which installed packages will be in a usable state at that moment in time. Once it chooses a package that it can merge based on that state, it will have to make any changes to the relevant installed packages (due to upgrade or uninstall via blocker) dependent on completion of the chosen merge, in order to ensure that its dependencies do not mutate while it is in the process of merging (considering emerge --jobs). The need to create multiple dependency graphs for circular dependency handling is similar to the one discussed in bug 175808 comment 41.
