If you check this two links: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra/texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4.ebuild https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-tex/minted/minted-2.9.ebuild You will notice, each package is listed as dependency for each other, so in a clean system, we will can't build them. The dependency does not depends on any USE or any condition, so nothing to do- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emaint sync -A 1. emerge minted or texlive-latexextra Actual Results: * Error: circular dependencies: (dev-tex/minted-2.9:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime) (dev-tex/minted-2.9:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime) Expected Results: Be able to build. I was checking info in my system (I found this in a new chroot), and seems minted was before a dependency that was conditional to the "doc" USE, but now is not the case. I have marked it as a blocker, because anyone who wants to create a new install, is likely don't be able to do it, a lot of apps depends on texlive-latextra, so in the end we can't even install git until this is fixed. We could track every package and USE that uses texlive-latexextra and disable them, but we can't say is very usable the system in that way.
minted-2.9 has - RDEPEND on latexextra - BDEPEND doc? latexextra texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4 has - RDEPEND on latexextra Even though the 'doc' USE flag is known to cause circular dependencies, I am not sure how it could cause one here. I am also not able to reproduce this $ USE=doc sudo -E emerge -1av texlive-latexextra minted … [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4::gentoo USE="doc source" 0 KiB [ebuild N ~] dev-tex/minted-2.9::tex-overlay USE="doc" 0 KiB Could you show use the full emerge invocation and its output? Also, which portage version is this?

I'm also confused about this, my main system also shows minted as a dependency on doc use, I was creating a chroot when I found this (for a binary host). After some research, I noticed the ebuilds on git also shows circular dependency with no doc USE (check the first post). No idea why the ebuilds are different. I'm running emerge --emptytree @world I have read the builds, tested disable uses, but nothing, for example this with the -doc use [ebuild N ] dev-tex/minted-2.9::gentoo USE="-doc" 903 KiB [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4::gentoo USE="-doc -source" 21311 KiB This fragments of ebuild will come directly from equery w -e minted: RDEPEND=" dev-python/pygments dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra " texlive-latexextra RDEPEND=" ${COMMON_DEPEND} !<dev-texlive/texlive-xetex-2023 >=dev-tex/minted-2.9 "
I'm checking my system now, seems after an update is the same: texlive-latexextra: RDEPEND=" ${COMMON_DEPEND} !<dev-texlive/texlive-xetex-2023 >=dev-tex/minted-2.9 " minted: RDEPEND=" dev-python/pygments dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra " If want to reprex in your SO, you would need to update the ebuilds, and unmerge both of the packages, then you could reprex this in a current syste.
Oks, after more tests I found really weird things, but seems not to be related to circular dependency, more about portage dependency solver. Closing because is other issue with other reprex to follow it.

Unfortunately, we get a cycle: ``` (dev-tex/minted-2.9:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2023_p69752-r4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime) (dev-tex/minted-2.9:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime) ``` Drop the minted dep to PDEPEND given we don't actually need it for texlive-lateextra to build, it's just a convenience dep.
