Circular Dependencies?

Hi people, seems like I have a bad case of circular dependencies.. anybody else experiencing them? I installed cups and ghostscript on my machine and l8er on I installed winex.

Now this night I did a emerge rsync and it said I had a circular dependency, Cups required Ghostscript.... Winex required cups, and ghostscript required cups... so cups and ghostscript keep requireing eachother.. I fixed it manually already, but maybe the authors of the packages can be warned so they can fix it..... Thnx in advance

The problem is worse than just CUPS and Ghostscript. It affects anything that relies upon either piece of software, and that can get pretty messy:

Seems to be fixed. I had the same problem (cups/ghostscript).
Just made a emerge rsync --clean then emerge cups again (unmerged both cups and ghostscript before).

Locking this thread in favor of this one which describes the same problem.
