Hello there, Again I am not sure if this is the right place to file this one, or if I should file it in portage. While building stage3, I got this error: * Error: circular dependencies: (virtual/pam-0-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (sys-libs/pam-1.3.1-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime) (sys-libs/libcap-2.26-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (virtual/pam-0-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) It might be possible to break this cycle by applying any of the following changes: - sys-libs/libcap-2.26-r2 (Change USE: -pam) - sys-libs/pam-1.3.1-r1 (Change USE: -filecaps) To avoid this I had to manually set USE="-filecaps" in catalystrc. Here is my spec file: ## Static settings subarch: amd64 target: stage3 rel_type: default profile: default/linux/amd64/17.0 cflags: -O2 -pipe -march=native ## Dynamic settings (might be passed on as parameters instead) source_subpath: default/stage2-amd64-latest # Name of the portage snapshot to use snapshot: latest # Timestamp to use on your resulting stage3 file version_stamp: latest Best regards, Alexis.
