[SOLVED] profile desktop/kde install cinnamon components?!

[lordalbert]

Hi, I have a new installed system. I set desktop profile, and do an -auvDN world. It's all ok. I install nothing, only stage3 and upgrade after set desktop profile.

Now i change profile to desktop/kde... and do a -auvDN world. It give me this output:

Code: Select all

# emerge -auvDN world
FEATURES variable contains unknown value(s): build

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

 * Error: circular dependencies:

(virtual/notification-daemon-0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (gnome-extra/cinnamon-2.4.6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
  (gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
   (virtual/notification-daemon-0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying any of the following changes:
- virtual/notification-daemon-0 (Change USE: +gnome)
- gnome-extra/cinnamon-2.4.6 (Change USE: -networkmanager)

Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed.

Note that the dependency graph contains a lot of cycles.
Several changes might be required to resolve all cycles.
Temporarily changing some use flag for all packages might be the better option.

My question is: Why portage try to install gnome-extra/cinnamon for kde ?!

I have a notebook with kde desktop profile, and i don't have this "problem", no cinnamon packages installed!

Because cinnamon is the first package listed in virtual/notification-daemon.
If you use kde profile you should pick one of the listed kde providers: kde-apps/knotify (kde4) or kde-frameworks/knotifications (kde5)
