Hey, could anyone give me a hint on the nature of this problem? I have
tried with a completely new portage tree, yet no success. I really have
no clue how this can happen.
anyone?

thanks for any help!

foo-a.ebuild depends on foo-b.ebuild and foo-b.ebuild depends on foo-a.ebuild.
That means neither of foo-a and foo-b are able to satisfy their dependencies
and portage chokes...

It's already been filed as a bug [1] and a fix [2] was
committed to cvs less than an hour ago. It may take a few hours for it to
reach the main rsync mirrors...
