Bug 277981 – dev-python/apptools-3.2 and dev-python/envisagecore-3.1: circular dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 175808
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Zibricky 2009-07-15 19:22:41 UTC]

When trying to emerge envisagecore it fails with error: circular depencencies

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask dev-python/envisagecore-3.1 and related ebuilds
2. emerge envisagecore
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge envisagecore fails with error:

Calculating dependencies... done!


[nomerge      ] dev-python/envisagecore-3.1.0  USE="doc examples test" 
[ebuild  N    ]  dev-python/apptools-3.2.0  USE="test -doc -examples" 
[ebuild  N    ]   dev-python/envisagecore-3.1.0  USE="doc examples test" 

 * Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/envisagecore-3.1.0', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/apptools-3.2.0', 'merge') (buildtime)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/apptools-3.2.0', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/envisagecore-3.1.0', 'merge') (runtime)

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


Expected Results:  
install requested ebuild

Step to resolve:

1. remove the dependency of apptool on envisagecore

Install them first with "FEATURES=-test".
