49 Well, before that, try and examine each module that is to be emerged and
50 see which ones want luks. Perhaps there is a broken ebuild which is
51 causing the problem. Normally, there are checks that prevent this kind of
52 circular error.
53
54 Do emerge -puNDvt world and see where luks is showing. There is no need
55 for luks unless you specifically need it. That's what the emerge command
56 will show.

58 Good luck
