Currently I'm in the process of reinstallilng my Gentoo system (have not yet rebooted) and while doing so I've stumbled upon a circular dependency, namely: cups -> lzo -> nasm -> ghostscript -> cups. I've worked around it by emerging ghostscript with cups disabled (USE="-cups" emerge ghostscript) and am going to emerge it again later with cups support. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Probably has to do with the nature at which point I'm trying to emerge one of the packages and my specific use flags. Can't give exact steps on how to reproduce it. Actual Results: !!!
