When trying to emerge www-client/links I had problems with circular dependencies from net-analyzer/net-snmp & app-print/cups. Removing the snmp and cups USE flags removes the circular dependency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE="snmp cups" emerge -p links 2. 3. Actual Results: told me about the circular dependencies Expected Results: emerged links
I was just playing around with it, and actually all I have to do is remove the 'snmp' USE flag to get it working... The circular dependency has nothing to do with 'cups'.
