Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-02-03 22:47:30 UTC 
I see:
# USE="-test" emerge -1av py

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

Calculating dependencies... done!


[nomerge       ] dev-python/py-1.4.12-r1 [1.4.7] USE="{test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7%* python3_2%* (-pypy1_9) (-pypy2_0) -python2_5% -python2_6% -python3_1% (-python3_3)" 
[ebuild     U ~]  dev-python/pytest-2.3.4 [2.0.3] USE="-doc%" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7%* python3_2%* (-pypy1_9) (-pypy2_0) -python2_5% -python2_6% -python3_1% (-python3_3)" 515 kB
[ebuild     U ~]   dev-python/py-1.4.12-r1 [1.4.7] USE="{test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7%* python3_2%* (-pypy1_9) (-pypy2_0) -python2_5% -python2_6% -python3_1% (-python3_3)" 222 kB

Total: 2 packages (2 upgrades), Size of downloads: 737 kB

 * Error: circular dependencies:

(dev-python/py-1.4.12-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (dev-python/pytest-2.3.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (dev-python/py-1.4.12-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- dev-python/py-1.4.12-r1 (Change USE: -test)

Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed.

This is because "test" USE flag is special and is turned on/off depending on FEATURES

Thanks

Reproducible: Always
