I have a fresh installed system where the portage dep tree parsing seems to be wrong. USE="cups" is set, but it wants to install qt before cups in some cases (e.g. emerge -pv mplayer). Problem doesn't occur with -t set. Some outputs of emerge -p with various parameters: http://www.schokokeks.org/~hanno/mplayer-deptree.txt http://www.schokokeks.org/~hanno/emerge-Ddpv.txt http://www.schokokeks.org/~hanno/emerge-Ddpvt.txt http://www.schokokeks.org/~hanno/emerge-dpvt.txt I have copied a snapshot of the portagetree and the system, so I can chroot to it and should be able to reproduce the problem if needed.

cups depends on dbus, which depends on qt, which depends on cups again. (USE="cups dbus qt3 qt4") Maybe dbus bindings should be put in separate packages?
When using USE="qt3 dbus cups", we have a circular dep: dbus depends on qt qt depends on cups cups depends on dbus CCing all relevant parties
The reason that emerge doesn't detect the circular dep in this case is that the dep_check call eliminates deps via dep_wordreduce so that they are not properly added to the digraph. Without representation of these deps in the digraph, the merge order calculation and circular deps detection in depgraph.altlist() do not account for them.
(In reply to comment #1) > Maybe dbus bindings should be put in separate packages? That might be a good idea. If this remains assigned to dev-portage then we'll just resolve it as duplicate of bug 16365. I'll see about adding an option to emerge so that it will detect circular deps like this automatically.
I have changed the dbus depend to || ( sys-apps/dbus-core sys-apps/dbus ). This will solve itself once the split dbus-0.9 is unmasked. After steev has some mono bindings and everyone had a chance to test it the unmasking can happen. Feel free to unmask it locally and watch out for bugs!

Not quite sure why this is assigned to us. Since the QT bindings in pre-0.90 D-Bus builds come packaged into D-Bus. Which means D-Bus depends on QT being installed. Which based on USE flags can depend on cups being installed. Which apparently genstef has added the D-Bus USE flag to. But hey... dbus-0.95 will be in ~arch soon enough.

D-Bus 1.0.x is out. Caleb and the other QT guys, clean up your 4.2.x for ~arch'd dbus and you're set to close this.
qt-4.2.2 has been removed from package mask and uses dbus.

Exact same problem as comment 22 from iaw
Hi, I just run into it too ... in my case, I have (nearly) default USE from the 2006.1/desktop profile - this means 'cups', 'dbus', 'qt3' and 'qt4' set (these USE are perfectly ok for me) I wanted to emerge qt this pulls qt-4, which depends on cups, which depends on dbus, which depends on qt-3 and qt-4, so that it tries to pull qt-3 at first - of course, this fails because of the configure check for cups if I try to emerge cups before qt, I am once again stuck - cups is to be emerged after dbus, and dbus wants to have qt-3 and qt-4 which do not have cups available at the time ... the solution is to make emerge to build cups at first (which can build without dbus installed), e.g. by --nodeps however, this is only a workaround, the non-interactivity of the emerge process is broken on default USE ... and I am repeating this to make clear that this bug is not ready to close in any way
This bug can be closed out once dbus-1.0.x goes stable
Shouldn't this bug be closed then? dbus-1.0.x is now stable...
(In reply to comment #29) > Shouldn't this bug be closed then? dbus-1.0.x is now stable... > Bugs should be closed only when they have been confirmed not to reproduce. This bug in particular is a critical one for people just starting to use gentoo. It would make sense to try a fresh install as some have done to ensure that this is not reproducible. Anything else is guesswork. My two cents, Steve
sys-apps/dbus no longer depends on qt thus there is no longer a circular dep.
