I tried to merge gnome by saying "emerge gnome" today and got  an
error about circular dependencies from portage.  I did a --sync, but
no joy.  anyone know what is happening?

Thanks.

When you get an error, please post the actual error, else nothing can be
deduced w/o making a bunch of (possibly erroneous) assumptions.

In the future do include the actual output of emerge gnome. It is, however, 
very likely to be related to bug #166564.

I did not include the output because it was over 400 lines, maybe I
will put his patch in and try again if I can figure out which package
depended on which.

In such a case you should just attach it as a compressed file. But applying 
the patch does seem like a good idea. It should be released later this week.

OK, with the patch applied,  here is the output -- I am a bit confused
as to which use flags to change so as to fix this one if that is
possible.

>>> cfg-update-1.8.0-r3 : No new packages have been emerged, checksum
>>> index OK...
*** Deprecated use of '--nocolor', use '--color=n' instead.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Had the same issues, with the circular dependencies.  I found the dbus
USE flag to be the troublesome one.  While my solution was not as
elegant as Mr. Andresen's, it did work.  I simply ran the emerge
without the dbus use flag.  When it came avahi's turn to compile, it
stopped and balked at me, so I emerged it with the dbus use flag...
from there, installation continues as normal.

Funny, I was freaking out and googling for a half hour when I could
have just checked my inbox :P

OK, that did  the trick, now I will have to look at the use flags for
all of these (it now wants 230 packages) because I have been getting
some strange ones which I may want to change.

Thanks all for your help.
