Description Georgi Chulkov 2005-12-31 04:01:47 UTC

I was doing a fresh install from a stage3 tarball and I issued an "emerge -e world". When portage got to QT it failed with the following:

--- END ---

Emerging cups and then resuming fixed it, which implies that QT depends on cups (at least with the cups use flag). However, "emerge -pt cups" showed that the reason portage went for QT first was that cups depends on poppler, and poppler depends on QT. CUPS however did emerge without QT. I think this should be fixed in some way - probably QT should have a dependecy on CUPS when the cups flag is set.

The cycle is an indirect one, poppler being the culprit here. The obvious solution is to create a xpdf-utils package, instead patching poppler.

poppler has been split into poppler and poppler-bindings.  Poppler-bindinds deps on qt and poppler, and qt deps on poppler.  The cycle should be fixed.
