Description Michel Wilson 2004-09-13 07:27:36 UTC 
With tetex and X in my use flags, xorg requires tetex, and tetex requires xorg.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. With USE="X tetex", emerge xorg-x11

Actual Results:  
The tetex-ebuild will fail, because it cannot find the X headers. 

Expected Results:  
 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Comment 1 Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-13 08:21:54 UTC 
The dmx USE flag pulls in sgmltools-lite and sgmltools-lite requires
app-text/jadetex and app-text/tetex when USE="tetex". But why dmx
depends on sgmltools-lite?
Comment 2 Canal Vorfeed 2004-09-13 15:10:40 UTC 
Someone thought it'll be enough to create documentation for dmx. It's not (see bug #61168 - you need some tools not even compileable with modern tools: in the end I've installed gcc 2.95.3 on my nptl bases system and it was adventure all by itself) but circular dependency is there anyway.
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-11 02:00:13 UTC 
Removed it from the deps, since it's bogus.
