Rule no. 1: Never waste time on re-installing Gentoo!

Anyway, these are not the actual error messages, so we'd really need the respective build logs. Portage, at the end of the errored build, tells you where to get it, I'm sure you'll find a way to transfer it to your working system.

That's really strange, both packages correctly have virtual/udev in DEPEND so that means the error should not happen. Are you building an openrc or systemd system right now? Do you have sys-fs/udev, sys-fs/eudev or sys-apps/systemd installed? Please also post your emerge --info.

Why, then, virtual/udev-215 (USE="-systemd")? What's happening when you `emerge -vp virtual/udev`?

At the same time, portage tells you how to solve the circular dependencies. Set the use flags temporarily as suggested.

Anyway, the reason why these two packages fail to install is because none of the required packages (either systemd, udev or eudev) are installed.

Try to get around that by `emerge -1v systemd` since that is what you want. You should do that right before anything else.

Trying 'emerge -1v systemd', I get the usual list of 63 packages to install, the usual circular dependencies to resolve, and I must install again media-libs/harfbuzz with USE="-graphite". At this point a new list of 130 packages begins to be ionstalled, but when only 3 jobs of 130 are completed, again I get the two usual Error messages.

Since there was in portage's output a context about udev and systemd, I kept away sys-fs/udev from @world by: emerge --deselect sys-fs/udev. Magically, the command "emerge --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --update @world" to fulfill the profile's requests was accomplished. When it will be finished, I'll controll whether systemd now is installed or not.

Anyhow, I'll move forward in the war campaign. Your help led me to the filing of weapons. Thanks.

So, that's what you do:

USE="-qt5 -graphite" emerge -1v systemd
