The circular_dependency_handler code knows that disabling the "test" USE flag should solved the circular dep, but that flag is not really enabled in the usual sense, so it suggests "(Change USE: )": > $ emerge -pv --with-test-deps dev-perl/Pango > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > > > [nomerge ] dev-perl/Pango-1.227.0::gentoo USE="-examples -minimal {-test}" > [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Gtk2-1.249.920::gentoo USE="{-test}" 751 KiB > [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Pango-1.227.0::gentoo USE="-examples -minimal {-test}" 46 KiB > > Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 796 KiB > > * Error: circular dependencies: > > (dev-perl/Pango-1.227.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on > (dev-perl/Gtk2-1.249.920:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) > (dev-perl/Pango-1.227.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) > > It might be possible to break this cycle > by applying the following change: > - dev-perl/Pango-1.227.0 (Change USE: )
Also note that if fails to suggest that USE=minimal would solve it: > test? ( > virtual/perl-Test-Simple > !minimal? ( > >=dev-perl/Gtk2-1.220.0 > $VIRTUALX_DEPEND > ) > )
The treatment of test dependencies like PDEPEND (bug 703348) will correct this.
