13 The first time you install Gentoo, it's relatively easy to get cyclic
14 dependencies since you have only the minimal set of packages installed
15 (this set is called @system, BTW). Try this:
16
17 USE="-doc -X" emerge -pv systemd vi
18
19 I'm sure most of the cyclic dependencies will break, and for the first
20 leg of the installation you don't need X nor documentation.
21
22 Did you selected a profile different from the default one?

24 Regards.
