Installing a fresh Gentoo, when trying to emerge all my apps, i'm getting a circular dependency between dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1 and media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11, i realized that this bug happens everytime "directfb" and "sdl" use flags are set. --> Example when emerging libsdl and DirectFB k0001 / # USE="directfb sdl" emerge DirectFB libsdl Calculating dependencies... done! !!!
