There is a dependency loop librsvg->pango->dekstop-file-utils->emacs->librsvg when cross-compiling Emacs that seems to be from an incorrect dependency. The desktop-file-utils ebuilds have emacs in DEPEND (to put it in the cross-compiled root), but the elisp-common eclass defines EMACS=${EPREFIX}/usr/bin/emacs which would be provided by BDEPEND. The eclass natively executes emacs to compile elisp files, so the ebuild should not depend on the cross-compiled version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE='emacs gui svg' cross-emerge -v emacs Actual Results: * Error: circular dependencies: (gnome-base/librsvg-2.40.21:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv5tel-gentoo-linux-gnueabi/') depends on (x11-libs/pango-1.44.7:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv5tel-gentoo-linux-gnueabi/') (runtime) (dev-util/desktop-file-utils-0.26:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv5tel-gentoo-linux-gnueabi/') (buildtime) (app-editors/emacs-27.1-r1:27/27::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv5tel-gentoo-linux-gnueabi/') (runtime) (gnome-base/librsvg-2.40.21:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/armv5tel-gentoo-linux-gnueabi/') (buildtime) Or if you set USE=-emacs to resolve the loop first and then rebuild desktop-file-utils with USE=emacs, it fails to compile since Emacs was not installed in ROOT=/: * elisp-emacs-version: Failed to run /usr/bin/emacs * ERROR: dev-util/desktop-file-utils-0.24::gentoo failed (compile phase): * Could not determine Emacs version * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 125: Called src_compile * environment, line 662: Called elisp-compile 'misc/desktop-entry-mode.el' * environment, line 451: Called elisp-check-emacs-version * environment, line 433: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * have_emacs=$(elisp-emacs-version) || die "Could not determine Emacs version"; Expected Results: It should build and install. It also needs to take emacs out of RDEPEND to fix the dependency loop, but that does not appear to be an issue because USE=emacs only causes it to compile and install some elisp files (i.e. running desktop-file-utils itself does not depend on Emacs). Putting emacs in PDEPEND (or dropping it altogether) fixes everything. --- dev-util/desktop-file-utils/desktop-file-utils-0.26.ebuild +++ dev-util/desktop-file-utils/desktop-file-utils-0.26.ebuild @@ -13,10 +13,11 @@ KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sparc ~x86 ~x64-cygwin ~amd64-linux ~x86-linux ~x64-macos ~x86-macos ~sparc-solaris ~x64-solaris ~x86-solaris" IUSE="emacs" -RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/glib-2.12:2 - emacs?
