I'm not very expirienced at gentoo development, but I just thought of (I |
| 6 |
hope) a possible solution to this. |

A circular dependency should always be caused by some USE flags (otherwise |
| 9 |
it could never be satisfied). So if portage detects a circular dependency, |
| 10 |
it could try first merging the circle without _any_ USE flags and in a |
| 11 |
second sweep do the merges with the correct USE flags (so some packages get |
| 12 |
merged twice in a run with circular dependencies). |

Since this seems to be what would be done manually otherwise I think this |
| 15 |
should work, but I'm just a noob, so no guarantees ;) |
