Bug 118861 – emerge update fails due to popper-xpdf circular dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter `MathFox' Roozemaal 2006-01-13 03:05:35 UTC]

Emerge update fails on my system due to a cyclic dependency between poppler and xpdf:

emerge -auD world
[...]

[ebuild     U ] app-antivirus/clamav-0.88 [0.87.1]
[ebuild     U ] sys-process/psmisc-21.9 [21.6]

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!!        on the same system.

Even an update of xpdf alone cases problems:

emerge -auD xpdf

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
