Ah, but the dep of whoosh on sphinx is conditional:
DEPEND="
dev-python/setuptools[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]
doc? ( dev-python/sphinx )
test? ( dev-python/pytest[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] )"
So, bug #627244 is relevant after all.
I don't have doc in make.conf, so it should just work for me [murmurs a
belief-neutral invocation/]

Very > nuts. Not nuts at all, looks like a simple circular dependency: whoosh needs sphinxcontrib-websupport (via sphinx) to build, but sphinxcontrib-websupport is declared to depend on whoosh. Circular. This ebuild bug probably crept in as everyone so far who installed sphinx already had a functioning whoosh. All those packages are in stable, so this will hit everyone who now needs whoosh added for the first time. The package maintainer needs to have the info you can give him, so a bug at b.g.o. is indeed called for. These circular dep bugs are tricky to find because installing everything from scratch again and in different order usually doesn't get tested. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

I have not had a chance to file a bug, but I got it working by doing the following: whoosh was looking for raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'sphinxcontrib-websupport' distribution was not found and is required by Sphinx So, I emerged that, but I had to use --nodeps because it wanted whoosh first, and after doing that I was able to emerge whoosh.
