Description rocky.maivia 2009-08-07 22:04:46 UTC

My Gentoo installation is very fresh. I installed the system guided by the offical documentation (network based). I only set up my network interface eth0 and emerged wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. After that i read the documentation about installing gnome on gentoo. I added the USE flags which suggested by the doc. Trying emerging it fails! Now "emerge --update --newuse --deep world too!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gnome
2.emerge --update --newuse --deep world
3.(The order doesn't matter)

Actual Results:  
The emerge attempts end in circular dependencies!

Expected Results:  
Gnome emerged and deep update!

I tried to google the solution. Without any success. I tried to activate or disable many USE Flags. Disabling some use-FLAGs often leads to even more circular dependencies. I read in the doc, that often circ. dependencies are bugs. So I want you to ask!
