I've reinstalled with more packages than ports.

Do you have any unusual options in your LiveSystem-make.conf? I'm using synth as well and I'm not seeing this error in my upgrade-system builds.

A circular dependency means that Port-A depends on Port-B and Port-B depends on Port-A, though it is normally not so obvious as there are usually intervening ports in the dependency path. It seems that this should show up during a poudriere builds, too, so it would be caught quickly. Not sure why synth (which I have not used in years) would have an issue when poudriere (which I have never used) does not. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
