Description Andrej Rode 2017-09-13 11:58:34 UTC
When setting up a crossdev environment and then selecting a systemd profile I have  put this in package.use and run `$crossdev-emerge systemd` first.

sys-process/procps -systemd
sys-apps/util-linux -systemd -udev

Afterwards I remove the package.use entry and and run `$crossdev-emerge @system`. Otherwise emerge stops resolving the circular dependency.

It seems closely related to bug 575910 and maybe there is something which can be done to allow `emerge @system` with as systemd profile without being required to set workaround useflags and run `emerge systemd`.

Please post the `emerge` output showing the circular block and reopen.

I don't see any way to make this work without changing the way portage works significantly.

I agree, this would require some effort to work around the issue (not sure if that exists for other profile+crossdev combinations). Probably I will create some scripts which will do necessary USE modifications and build my crossdev root unattended.
