I think the problem is that fontconfig has freetype not just in RDEPEND but also DEPEND Doh. You're right of course. P.S. I think the solution with PDEPEND is wrong for bug 179736. If I understand it correctly, then freetype-2.2 doesn't NEED =fontconfig-2.4, but, if installed, will crash older versions. Then there should be a blocker on fontconfig-2.4 in freetype. I think portage handles that correctly since some point. And if not, it should :) I'm a firm believer that blockers absolutely suck and should be avoided at all costs. But in this case I don't see another way around it, since while playing around just now I discovered another way to break the depgraph with the current PDEPEND. Thanks for the advice. :) -- dirtyepic salesman said this vacuum's guaranteed gentoo org it could suck an ancient virus from the sea 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Is a PDEPEND possible? I'm not an experienced ebuild scripter. I only knew of RDEPEND and DEPEND. Now I'm reading this on PDEPEND: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html The two software packages depend at run-time. I'll try PDEPEND. Thank you. Moody friends.

The package manager should do the right thing. It doesn't. See freetype which requires =fontconfig-2.3 at runtime which in turn requires freetype at runtime. Bug #179736. I think the problem is that fontconfig has freetype not just in RDEPEND but also DEPEND (see how in the emerge error output one dep is reported as medium and the other as hard). Which is interpreted as 'needed at build time in working state, thus with all its RDEPENDs (which includes satisfied', creating the circular deps. So, just RDEPEND on each other should be fine (at least in recent portage, I think older ones treated RDEPEND and DEPEND the same). But if one package has DEPEND, the other one needs PDEPEND. P.S. I think the solution with PDEPEND is wrong for bug 179736. If I understand it correctly, then freetype-2.2 doesn't NEED =fontconfig-2.4, but, if installed, will crash older versions.
