Bug 152405 – [circular deps] between media-libs/libsdl and dev-libs/DirectFB

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2006-10-22 12:03:11 UTC]

media-libs/libsdl dev-libs/DirectFB have circular deps with 'sdl' 'directfb' USE flags enabled.


# USE="-* directfb sdl" emerge -pv libsdl

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies            ... done!
!!! Error: circular dependencies:

ebuild / dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1 merge depends on
   ebuild / media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 merge (hard)
ebuild / media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 merge depends on
   ebuild / dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1 merge (hard)

Reopen, as we need more bugs for the same issue...

nothing to be done in the libsdl or directfb ebuilds

Created attachment 109586 [details]
emerge --info

For later use, if any one ever want to try to work a fix, I ll give my configuration.

My system does actually work using attached conf; the line below shows the problem in short:
root@moon_gen:/# USE="directfb" emerge -vae world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
!!! Error: circular dependencies:
('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11-r1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/cairo-1.3.12', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11-r1', 'merge') (hard)
root@moon_gen:/#

Thus the use of "___" prefix in front of "___directfb" flag to desactivate the feature (I prefer "___" over "-" since the generalised use of it just default the settings to the profile)

A workaround, for people who need one, is to "-sdl"; the following command works around the circular dep:

root@moon_gen:/# USE="directfb -sdl" emerge -vae world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.2-r8  USE="doc -build -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 0 kB
[...]

I hope someone will be brave enough to work a fix some day ...

Bug #12468 seem dup of this one, and bug #148906 seem BLOCKING this one.
