Bug 281023 – emerge of dev-util/subversion-1.6.4 causes circular dependency due to gnome-keyring

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description waynedpj 2009-08-10 18:44:34 UTC]

only way to emerge dev-util/subversion-1.6.4 on fresh installed system (for layman) is to disable USE flag for "gnome-keyring".  after emerging subversion, emerge --update --deep --world causes circular dependency again (unless gnome-keyring USE flag is disabled).

thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --update --deep --newuse world

Circular dependencies aren't related to dev-util/subversion.

x11-libs/gtk+ -> net-print/cups -> net-dns/avahi -> x11-libs/gtk+
x11-libs/gtk+ -> net-print/cups -> net-dns/avahi -> dev-python/pygtk -> x11-libs/gtk+
x11-libs/gtk+ -> net-print/cups -> net-dns/avahi -> dev-python/pygtk -> gnome-base/libglade -> x11-libs/gtk+
x11-libs/gtk+ -> net-print/cups -> net-dns/avahi -> gnome-base/libglade -> x11-libs/gtk+

You should temporarily disable "gtk" or "cups" or "python" USE flag, install all relevant packages, and reenable the temporarily disabled USE flag.
