I think the problem is that fontconfig has freetype not just in RDEPEND |
| 15 |
but also DEPEND (see how in the emerge error output one dep is reported |
| 16 |
as medium and the other as hard). Which is interpreted as 'needed at |
| 17 |
build time in working state, thus with all its RDEPENDs (which includes |
| 18 |
satisfied', creating the circular deps. |
| 19 |
So, just RDEPEND on each other should be fine (at least in recent |
| 20 |
portage, I think older ones treated RDEPEND and DEPEND the same). But if |
| 21 |
one package has DEPEND, the other one needs PDEPEND. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
P.S. I think the solution with PDEPEND is wrong for bug 179736. If I |
| 24 |
understand it correctly, then >freetype-2.2 doesn't NEED |
| 25 |
>=fontconfig-2.4, but, if installed, will crash older versions. Then |
| 26 |
there should be a blocker on <fontconfig-2.4 in freetype. I think |
| 27 |
portage handles that correctly since some point. And if not, it should :) |
