It is not possible to install net-fs/samba-4.1.7 due a dependency cycle. From the ebuilds: - /usr/portage/net-fs/samba/samba-4.1.7.ebuild CDEPEND="${PYTHON_DEPS} ... >=sys-libs/ntdb-1.0[python] ... " DEPEND="${CDEPEND} virtual/pkgconfig" - /usr/portage/sys-libs/ntdb/ntdb-1.0.ebuild DEPEND="!!<net-fs/samba-4.1.7 ${RDEPEND} app-text/docbook-xml-dtd:4.2" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to install =net-fs/samba-4.1.7 Actual Results: # cave resolve -z1 net-fs/samba Done: 1711 steps, 2 metadata (1 proaudio, 1 pentoo) These are the actions I will take, in order: (nothing to do) I cannot provide a legal ordering for the following: u net-fs/samba:0::gentoo 4.1.7 to ::installed replacing 4.1.4 [cycle 1] acl -addns -ads -aio -avahi client -cluster cups -dmapi -fam -gnutls -iprint -ldap -quota (-selinux) -syslog -winbind (-test) PYTHON_TARGETS: -python2_6 python2_7 build_options: symbols=split -dwarf_compress -optional_tests -trace work=tidyup Reasons: target, !!<net-fs/samba-4.1.7 from sys-libs/ntdb-1.0:0::gentoo In unsolvable cycle with dev-lang/python:2.7, dev-lang/python:3.3, net-fs/samba:0, sys-libs/ntdb:0 n sys-libs/ntdb:0::gentoo 1.0 to ::installed [cycle 1] "A not-so trivial keyword/data database system" python PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -python2_6 python2_7 PYTHON_TARGETS: -python2_6 python2_7 build_options: symbols=split -dwarf_compress -optional_tests -trace work=tidyup Reasons: net-fs/samba-4.1.7:0::gentoo Expected Results: emerge the package i am a paludis user. maybe th result with emerge is different.
