Circular dependency sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5

[db_404]

Hi,

Any thoughts as to how to resolve this:

Code: Select all

 * Error: circular dependencies:

(sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (sys-libs/glibc-2.11.3, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

 * Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
 * disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

A bit odd as the system isn't even that far out of date (running gcc 4.4.4 currently).

try set gcc-config again, i find it too a bit odd as glibc-2.11.3 doesn't need gcc 4.4.5 to be build, so i suppose your portage fail to find your current gcc

if you can't figure out why portage doesn't like your current gcc version, you can still bypass that (and i would say safely as i own 2.11.3glibc build with 4.4.2gcc)
emerge --nodeps glibc
after that your gcc should emerge without complains, you might still again do --nodeps gcc in case you still need

Before we go bypassing dependency checks, what is the full output of emerge --info ; emerge --pretend --verbose sys-libs/glibc ; emerge --pretend --verbose sys-devel/gcc:4.4?

Before we go bypassing dependency checks

Too late I'm afraid ... so the glibc built with --nodeps (and the system is still functional, so seemingly good there)

However now have another circular dependency

Code: Select all

(sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (app-admin/eselect-python-20100321, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
  (app-admin/eselect-1.2.15, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
   (sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)

emerge --info output

Just force it through.

Code: Select all

emerge --nodeps -1 file
