Description Ed Wiget 2010-05-21 17:57:15 UTC

Trying to emerge slim or slim-themes results in this error message:
# emerge -v slim

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v slim slim-themes
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
 * Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-misc/slim-1.3.1_p20091114', 'merge') depends on

 * Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily

Expected Results:  
slim should emerge the current slim-themes package

Originally I thought simply moving slim-themes to a different ebuild would fix it but it didnt work.  The fix was to also comment out the rdepend in slim themes.  There is probably a better method.

#RDEPEND="x11-misc/slim"

Hi,

You will have to provide better instructions on how to reproduce this issue. On my host without slim installed, I see this:

%% emerge -av slim
superuser access is required... adding --pretend to options
