It told me that x11/pango was what was forcing the freetype dependency, and seeing as I'm running wayland I thought it wouldn't be a problem to get rid of it temporarily. "emerge -C pango" ... One quick "emerge --oneshot" (or rather, slow, because it triggered an update of loads of other stuff) later, and then a global update, and hopefully Robert is your mother's brother-in-law (he was mine :-) Cheers, Wol

Accepting the ~amd64 keyword would require extra steps due to another circular dependency (also on the linked page but farther down). Not that it would help in this case because freetype and harfbuzz do depend on each other currently signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've got stuck on this merry-go-round ... I'm trying to emerge wine, and it's come up with this. It insisted on adding abi_x86_32 or whatever it is to loads of things, but it's now blowing up with this circular dependency. If I try and install one with "use = -theother" it won't go ... If I try --nodeps, the config blows up ... Looking on the web, everybody seems to be recommending those approaches but they're not working. It does say circular dependencies are hard to fix. The only thing I haven't got at the moment is ~amd. Is that likely to help? Any advice please ... Cheers, Wol
