Description Paul Goldbaum (AMD64 Arch Tester) 2008-03-28 21:13:06 UTC 
When trying to emerge dpkg with the "test" USE flag set, you get the following circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/version-0.73', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/extutils-parsexs-2.18', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08', 'merge') (hard)
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/module-build-0.28.08', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/extutils-parsexs-2.18', 'merge') (medium-soft)
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.19', 'merge') (medium-soft)
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-perl/version-0.73', 'merge') (hard)

This affects all versions of dpkg currently in the tree.

i doubt it's dpkg's problem ... nothing depends on dpkg

most likely perl is bjorked

Emerge this w/ USE="-test"
