The EAPI 7 ebuild has gettext in DEPEND, which causes it to be cross-compiled. A quick glance at the source shows it only being called natively, so it should be in BDEPEND. (The compile-time use of the gettext function is handled by glibc/libintl.) This results in a dependency loop: policycoreutils -> gettext[git] -> git[gpg] -> gnupg[selinux] -> selinux-gpg -> policycoreutils Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE='git gpg selinux' cross-emerge -v policycoreutils Actual Results: * Error: circular dependencies: (app-crypt/gnupg-2.2.20-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') depends on (sec-policy/selinux-gpg-2.20200818-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') (runtime) (sys-apps/policycoreutils-3.1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') (runtime) (sys-devel/gettext-0.21:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') (buildtime) (dev-vcs/git-2.26.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') (runtime) (app-crypt/gnupg-2.2.20-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge to '/usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu/') (runtime) Expected Results: It should build and install.

I think perfinion was referring to the live ebuilds for bug #753251 and bug #753254, not this one, but yes this change should be made to -9999 as well since that's EAPI 7, too. Also, I don't think the comment is necessary since that makes it sound like a workaround when it's not. It's just the correct way to declare dependencies on native tools. But either way, it's working now, thanks.
Thanks Sam for taking care of this! > perfinion is going to review 9999 later for any other > possible fixes, so not closing the bug yet. Sam did this live ebuild in 786c8c9d7f05f453634b4ef1d4230e7270af0583 and I took care of libselinux/libsemanage's live ebuilds in 8353a4e7d519f0ef13004f1081bd2f2f1bcc5cdc and 7e629b5a97b02d2d3427f69d76b1ee5f5e2d5766
