Well, before that, try and examine each module that is to be emerged and see which ones want luks. Perhaps there is a broken ebuild which is causing the problem. Normally, there are checks that prevent this kind of circular error. Do emerge -puNDvt world and see where luks is showing. There is no need for luks unless you specifically need it. That's what the emerge command will show. Good luck -- Peter -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
