Bug 44435 – Circular dependencies when trying to install dev-java/ant-1.6.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Klaus S. Madsen 2004-03-12 02:04:54 UTC]

It seems that dev-java/ant-1.6.1 has a dependency on dev-java/jzlib. But dev-java/jzlib depends on ant in order to compile.

The trouble seems to be because ant-1.6.1 depends on jsch which requires jzlib which requires ant.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv dev-java/ant
2. emerge -pv dev-java/jzlib
3. emerge -pv dev-java/jsch

Actual Results:  
root@hjernemadsen ksm # emerge  -pv dev-java/ant   
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Expected Results:  
All three emerges should work, when performed without -pv. But only the last 
one of them does. This is a problem when some application depends on some java 
which needs ant, because the emerge will not work. In this case it was 
postgresql I originally wanted to merge, but that failed, because of this bug.

Thanks for the input. This seems to be my mistake :P It should be fixed now in portage.
