Is it possible to show a specific error message when running in a |
| 9 |
circular dependency? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
When I get it right, the problem occurs only one time when solved |
| 12 |
with a bundled use flag. As soon as expat and/or cmake are installed, |
| 13 |
follow up versions can be merge without problems. |
| 14 |
|

If an error message can be shown, maybe this is enough as a hint: |
| 16 |
"expat and cmake have circular dependencies. Emerge it the first time with: |
| 17 |
USE=bundled-cmake emerge -1 cmake expat |
| 18 |
and then just don't care anymore about this use flag." |
| 19 |
|

Of course, the same applies for other known circular dependencies, too. |
| 21 |
At least for me as a user, this would be enough. |
