Description Mikołaj Kąkol 2008-10-05 13:36:32 UTC

When emerging app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.9 with flag "fam" there is !!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/glib-2.16.5', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/glib-2.16.5', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1', 'merge') (hard)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge syslog-ng -pv

Actual Results:  
# emerge syslog-ng -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge      ] app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.9  USE="ipv6 tcpd -hardened (-selinux) -spoof-source -static" 
[nomerge      ]  dev-libs/glib-2.16.5  USE="fam -debug -hardened (-selinux) -xattr" 
[ebuild  N    ]   app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1  USE="python -debug" 
[ebuild  N    ]    dev-libs/glib-2.16.5  USE="fam -debug -hardened (-selinux) -xattr" 
!!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/glib-2.16.5', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1', 'merge') (hard)

!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.


Expected Results:  
USE="-fam"  emerge syslog-ng -pv

Assuming that the dependencies are specified correctly, this is an issue that has the same solution as bug 175808.
