Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-02 15:41:15 UTC 
There's Circular dependencies when infinality is enabled for freetype but no libXft installed.

(x11-libs/libXft-2.3.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (media-libs/freetype-2.5.3-r1:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (media-libs/fontconfig-infinality-20130404:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
   (x11-libs/libXft-2.3.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)


The workaround is to `USE=-infinality emerge -1 freetype` and then emerge it once again but with infinality flag enabled.

Reproducible: Always

*friendly bump*
Comment 2 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-09-24 09:42:36 UTC 
This is a known issue. I'm not sure how you'd like to prevent this.
Comment 3 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-13 13:30:46 UTC 
Actually, I did a little digging, and we can move some deps to PDEPEND, which breaks the circular dep.
