Description Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-10-24 10:18:39 UTC 
On first installation with USE="plugins", portage raises a circular dependency issue zeitgeist {R,}DEPEND -> zeitgeist-datasources {R,}DEPEND-> libzeitgiest -> RDEPEND zeitgeist

zeitgeist-datasources has zeitgeist as PDEPEND already but I think the proper fix is to actually have zeitgeist-datasources as a PDEPEND in zeitgeist ebuild.
According to https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/, this is probably the way it should be.
