Description Eric F. GARIOUD 2022-10-18 08:31:12 UTC 
lddtreeing some program, I discover that I get a circular dependency :

libharfbuzz.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libharfbuzz.so.0
    libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6
    libharfbuzz.so.0 => !!! circular loop !!!

Ok, this is a known problem well documented ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Sam/Portage_help/Circular_dependencies ) being solved rebuilding freetype USE=-harfbuzz

The problem I report here is that if I want to rebuild harfbuzz having freetype installed USE = +harfbuzz, emerge will work happily without reporting any error such as shown in the wikipage linked hereabove.



Reproducible: Always

For a start, please use a non-masked Portage.
