Wait about one day, sync again, and retry.

Chances are good the maintainer will have spotted the circular deps and fixed 
them. There's not much you can do about it on your end. 

With experience, it's possible to adjust one of the packages to break the 
circular dep, then reinstall then one at a time in the correct order. You have 
used Gentoo for one day, this would not be an appropriate thing for you to 
attempt. Easier to wait a bit.
