I'm bootstrapping a prefix portage on the fresh opensolaris (indiana) 2009.06 on my workstation and sys-apps/file causes a circular dependancy on python although the python USE-flag is unset. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml until code listing "env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot portage" 2. get circular dependancy Actual Results: portage@heka:/opt/gentoo$ env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot -p portage These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

(prefix bugs should goto prefix@gentoo.org and bypass the bug-wranglers completely)
file doesn't depend on anything. However, this circular dependency should have been broken by the code from 1.11: $ emerge --oneshot --nodeps file $ emerge --oneshot --nodeps eselect did you perhaps accidentially skip those?
yepp, my fault, sry... the last time I ran $ for PKG in coreutils findutils tar grep patch gawk make "--nodeps file" "--nodeps eselect"; do emerge --oneshot $PKG || break; done seems like I forgot the last ones this time.
