[gentoo-user] Circular dependencies

[gentoo-user] Circular dependencies

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

Earlier time I did resolve this problem because it was my desktop
machine. But now this is an virtual machine hosted by Amazon. So, how
can fix this circular dependencies issue? The portage is synced.

Thanks for any help!

emerge -av1 =glibc-2.10.1-r1

then emerge the rest of world. That version of glibc is OK with gcc-4.1.* and 
breaks the circular loop.

I had to do this very thing this weekend on an old box. Solving it involved 
reading all the ebuilds and writing down their deps to find a path through it 
:-)

1.49 != 1.4.9, is that not just a typo in your email?

Hi Khumba,

oh damn...I didn't saw that! Thank you very much !!!

It might be possible to break this cycle

I will now add that to package.use and will see how far it will
take...

Thanks a lot again! :)

USE=doc is a classic way of getting circular dependencies, usually
unnecessarily. You only need USE=doc if you are doing development work
with a package, so it should never need to be set globally. The flag does
not affect the installation of general man/info pages, except with the
odd exception (like ffmpeg).

% euses doc
doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to
enable per package instead of globally

Hi Neil,

thank you for the inofrmation! :))
I am currently on the way of installing texlive completly 
and I cannot get enough documentation about it...
So I thought, that "doc" was a good idea...but iw seems not
to be...
I will switch it off again.
On the other side: Not being able to install docs globally seems
to be a logical problem (beside being useless...), which needs
to be fixed...right?

Best regards,
mcc

It may be a good idea, for that package, but not globally. Even so,
unless you need API documentation, I doubt you want that flag.

The usual solution is to install with -doc first and then enable the
flag. This often brings in a long list of dependencies, which is where
the problems can arise. I don't have a problems with Gentoo devs not
spending time solving a problems that should not occur with sensible use.

Also it makes the compile time for some packages longer; kdelibs is a
case where it takes significantly longer (30+ minutes iirc?  it's been
a while).

Sometimes I think it'd be nice to be able to enable all manuals / user
guides but not necessarily API documentation (examples: wireshark,
postgresql-server, ghc), but since that's the extent of my examples,
and two of them are development-related, I doubt it's worth the
effort.

That's how USE="-doc" is supposed to work. Man pages etc, should be
installed by default unless FEATURES="nodoc noman noinfo" is set.
