It's not about the documentation. It's mostly about portage actually. Certain |
| 8 |
sets of USE flags create circular dependencies that portage doesn't deal with |
| 9 |
well or at all. Packages then fail to build and bugs get posted. What did the |
| 10 |
user do wrong? Nothing. What can the user do? Figure out where the circular |
| 11 |
dependency is and manually solve it. Should the steps on how to do that be |
| 12 |
added to the Stage1/2 install guide? I'd think not. |
