ARTS is a dependency of Qt, yet ARTS (while running ./configure) says it cannot find Qt and therfore cannot install. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -uavt qt 2.type 'y' 3.Hit Enter Actual Results: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Expected Results: Finished emerging properly.

No circular dependency. aRts depends on Qt and can't find it. Which Qt versions do you have installed? Please attach the aRts config.log
Actually, Qt wasn't installed at all. I had 'arts' in my USE flags and so Qt assumed it would be able to install arts. I did find a temporary workaround though. I just took changed 'arts' in my USE flags to '-arts' and emerged Qt. Then, in order to emerge arts, I changed my USE flags back and typed 'emerge --newuse qt'.
Qt doesn't have any direct dependency on arts. If what you say is true, then it's some kind of obscure indirect dependency via another package.
Well, as you can see, my USE flags are very extensive so what you say must me true.
emerge -upvt or something like that may show the tree as to why qt is wanting arts.
Actually, I use -uavt. Unfortunately, I've already used the workaround I stated above so I no longer have the dependency tree. I guess you could say the bug is "fixed" with a workaround. I'll close it now.
