When you've emerged the packages with the doc USE flag disabled you will be |
| 16 |
able to enable the flag and remerge the packages with --newuse as the |
| 17 |
packages will then be installed which means the circular deps are already |
| 18 |
satisfied. And yes, this is a known issue. Hopefully portage 2.1.3 will have |
| 19 |
a better solution.. |
