Zac: any idea if portage could be smarter about this? I believe we discussed this already a while ago, but that was about why --onlydeps worked, IIRC. How bout adding some rule to the effect of "if package A depends on a virtual B, which has || (A x y z) dependencies, don't select A to resolve this set of alternatives, unless A is already installed. For now the dependency of A on B is transitive, but it could be made direct if it helped this rule. (A = icedtea, B = virtual/jdk. Icedtea depends on xalan, xerces, ant-nodeps, etc., that depend on virtual/jdk and other java packages that also depend on virtual/jdk (see the original comment)

Before it got removed from the tree, dev-lang/gwydion-dylan used to use a similar approach, though it didn't use a virtual, it could have: DEPEND="|| ( dev-lang/gwydion-dylan-bin dev-lang/gwydion-dylan )"

That's fine. But it also has this: >=dev-java/xalan-2.7.0:0 >=dev-java/xerces-2.9.1:2 >=dev-java/ant-core-1.7.1-r2 dev-java/ant-nodeps And all of these have something like DEPEND=">=virtual/jdk-1.4" or similar. And although jdk-1.6.0 has again: || ( dev-java/icedtea6-bin =dev-java/icedtea-6* =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0* ... )" (which means the -bin before non-bin), somehow this doesn't work and portage seems to decide to satisfy this by icedtea-6, (because it's already scheduled?). So somehow these transitive deps are a problem. I don't know if reordering the above blocks would help portage to fix icedtea6-bin before going through the xalan->jdk deps, or whatnot. There is probably the solution of changing all those java packages in the original post to depend on || ( icedtea6-bin virtual/jdk ) directly, but it seems rather fragile so I hope another solution can be found first :)

(In reply to comment #7) > There is probably the > solution of changing all those java packages in the original post to depend > on || ( icedtea6-bin virtual/jdk ) directly, but it seems rather fragile so > I hope another solution can be found first :) OK so with xerces/xalan no longer deps of icedtea, the last package involved is dev-java/ant-core. So I changed its deps from virtual/jdk to || ( icedtea-bin virtual/jdk ) but it doesn't work, portage will prefer the virtual/jdk (even though it's not installed) and when evaluating it, it will prefer icedtea (this going circular) instead of icedtea-bin...

We're a little way off yet but this shouldn't matter when icedtea-7 goes away. icedtea-3 (Java 8) doesn't use Ant.
To the person who came into #gentoo-java and rudely asked why this hasn't been fixed yet before leaving one minute later, it should have been assigned to the Portage team as this is probably a Portage bug. I did say above that we're a little way off removing icedtea-7 but progress has certainly been made in this area since then. It's not like this is even that big a deal. Very few people use icedtea over icedtea-bin and all you have to do is explicitly "emerge ant" first.

@chewi, can this one be closed now?
Bug #384107 is still open so the Portage issue is still there. icedtea:7 is gone from the main repo and icedtea:8 doesn't use Ant, however if you want to bootstrap with gcj (perhaps for a new arch) then we still point people to java-overlay where icedtea:7 is still maintained. I'd keep this open for now.

This extends direct cycle breaking to handle indirect dependency cycles, which solves the cmake-bootstrap test case for bug 703440. If any cycle(s) remain unsolved by the next backtracking run, then backtracking aborts and the cycle(s) are reported as usual. Note that backtracking is necessary in order to avoid bugs of the form "emerge installs packages only to have them removed by depclean", since this sort of behavior is desirable only when it eliminates a dependency cycle.
