This ebuild is from the java-overlay. Is it just a bad ebuild or can
I fix this? I tried disabling the nsplugin USE flag with the same
result.
# emerge icedtea6
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2 USE="nsplugin -cacao
-debug -doc -examples -javascript -pulseaudio -shark -zero"
* Error: circular dependencies:
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2', 'merge') depends on
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/icedtea6-1.3.1-r2', 'merge') (hard)
* Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
* disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

It comes from that line. It looks like it's for bootstrapping icedtea6,
which apparently can be done by itself or the two other alternatives.
emerging icedtea6-bin should fix this. It can then be unemerged when
you've emerged icedtea6 and from then on you can bootstrap updates with
the existing installation.

Thank you, that worked.
