Lots? If you'd posted this yesterday, I would have been able to recall |
| 7 |
the last time I was hit with one. |

I did get a circular dependency today, sdl and directfb and guess what? |
| 14 |
The error message also contained the solution, which was to temporarily |
| 15 |
change a USE flag. |

The great thing about free software is that it all comes with a full |
| 18 |
money back guarantee. So before you start shooting your mouth off when |
| 19 |
something produced by volunteers in their own time fails to work for you, |
| 20 |
stop and remember how much you paid for it and why. |

Since you are clearly able to solve a problem that comes fro upstream |
| 23 |
and which the combined might of SUSE and Gentoo has failed to do, why |
| 24 |
not offer to help instead of posting sarcastic rants to a user support |
| 25 |
list? $DEITY forbid, you could even file a bug describing the problem and |
| 26 |
providing your solution. |
