Bug 190596

Summary: circular dependencies for openldap against cyrus-sasl and vice-versa
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: Craig Jackson <craigmjackson>
Component: New packagesAssignee: Gentoo Linux bug wranglers <bug-wranglers>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal

Runtime testing required: ---

Description Craig Jackson 2007-08-29 03:58:25 UTC
after running the command
  emerge --update --newuse --deep -pv world
with both ldap and sasl USE flags in /etc/make.conf


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="SASL LDAP"
2. emerge --update --newuse --deep -pv world
3.

Actual Results:  
!!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'net-nds/openldap-2.3.35-r1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-r2', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-r2', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'net-nds/openldap-2.3.35-r1', 'merge') (hard)

!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.


Expected Results:  
1. ldap should be compiled without sasl
2. sasl should be compiled without ldap
3. ldap should be re-compiled WITH sasl
4. sasl should be re-compiled WITH ldap

I am able to resolve this dependency by installing from the original source packages and bypassing portage.
