Bug 462926 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462926) is opened for the circular dependency. |

My more immediate question is "Why is virtual/modutils & sys-apps/kmod pulled in at all?" and "How can I prevent it?" |
24 |
|
25 |
Here the output of my "emerge update" |
26 |
|

Calculating dependencies... done! |

[nomerge ] virtual/modutils-0 |
35 |
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma -static-libs" 0 kB |
36 |
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB |
