Hello,
Some of my servers are running with a kernel without module-support.
On these servers something has started to pull in sys-apps/kmod, which when compiled complains about missing modules-support in the kernel (as it should).
Doing an "equery d sys-apps/kmod" I can see that the following two packages depends on sy-apps/kmod:
sys-fs/udev-197-r8 (kmod ? >=sys-apps/kmod-12)
virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools])
sys-fs/udev has "-kmod" in its USE-flags, so that should not be an issue).
# emerge --verbose --pretend sys-fs/udev
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-197-r8 USE="acl openrc -doc -gudev -hwdb -introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs" 0 kB
With virtual/modutils its an other thing, here we have a circular dependency between virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod if the tools USE-flag is set.
So trying to resolve this a unmreged virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod and tried the following:
# USE="-tools" emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1 230 kB
Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 230 kB
# equery d sys-apps/modutils
* These packages depend on sys-apps/modutils:
# equery d virtual/modutils
* These packages depend on virtual/modutils:
Can someone explain to me why these two are getting re-emerged (nothing seems to depend on them and I have previously unmerged them)?
Regards,

That circular dep is interesting; sys-apps/kmod only depends on
virtual/modutils because it inherits linux-mod.eclass.
Could you file about about the circular dependency please?

I recognized another issue possibly caused by inheriting linux-mod.eclass:
kmod is pulling in virtual/linux-sources as a dependency, which actually
is not necessary at all (and maybe even annoying, it's at least some
hundred megabytes).

You could also file a bug for that.
I have the following in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to work around it.
sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6

I hesitated to file a bug, because my desktop is running mdev instead
of udev (just fine thank, you), and it might not be supported. I've
removed module-init-tools. I have virtual/modutils-0 and
sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 installed. Here's what happens...
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv1 virtual/modutils
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild R ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB

[uninstall ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma -static-libs"

Bug 462926 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462926) is opened for the circular dependency.
My more immediate question is "Why is virtual/modutils & sys-apps/kmod pulled in at all?" and "How can I prevent it?"
Here the output of my "emerge update"
# emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge ] virtual/modutils-0
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma -static-libs" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
