 |
|
Hi Experts -
I installed a new Gentoo on a server , rebooted and it came up cleanly. However, any package that I am trying to install , I am getting below Circular dependency error -
| Quote: | [nomerge ] net-misc/rsync-3.3.0-r2::gentoo USE="acl iconv ssl xattr -examples -lz4 -rrsync -stunnel -system-zlib -verify-sig -xxhash -zstd" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12 -python3_10 -python3_11 -python3_13"
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/openssl-3.3.3:0/3::gentoo USE="asm quic -fips -ktls -rfc3779 -sctp -static-libs -test -tls-compression -vanilla -verify-sig -weak-ssl-ciphers" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" CPU_FLAGS_X86="(sse2)" 17,679 KiB
[ebuild N ] sys-libs/zlib-1.3.1-r1:0/1::gentoo USE="-minizip -static-libs -verify-sig" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 1,276 KiB
Total: 187 packages (187 new), Size of downloads: 637,734 KiB
* Error: circular dependencies:
(sys-libs/libcap-2.71:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(sys-libs/pam-1.7.0_p20241230-r3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(sys-libs/libcap-2.71:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- sys-libs/libcap-2.71 (Change USE: -pam)
Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed.
Note that the dependency graph contains a lot of cycles.
Several changes might be required to resolve all cycles.
Temporarily changing some use flag for all packages might be the better option. |
please suggest what needs to be done to get this fixed. Appreciate all your help in advance. |

This is very suspicious of /var/db/pkg being empty with the small amounts of output posted. This must have been populated by the install or it will be difficult to recover from.
Is something not mounted properly? Or, conversely, is a different mount hiding this path? |
