 |
|
Greetings good people,
I'm installing Gentoo for the first time, and I have encountered a problem.
In short, emerge found a circular dependency between 'freetype' and 'harfbuzz' when trying to update the '@world set' for the first time. I know that this problem has at least two or more post about it, but I tried all the solutions and they didn't work. I've chosen a simple 'desktop' profile using eselect.
I can't post the code because I'm currently installing the system on my computer. If it helps, here is a list of all commands I have tried so far (I've actually tried many more, but I don't remember all of them):
| Code: | | emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world |
^-- emerge tells me to add the 'harfbuzz' use flag.
| Code: | | USE="harfbuzz" emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world |
^-- circular dependency: harfbuzz --> freetype --> harfbuzz
| Code: | | USE="-harfbuzz -truetype" emerge --oneshot harfbuzz freetype |
^-- emerge tells me to add both harfbuzz and truetype use flag
| Code: | | USE="harfbuzz truetype" emerge --oneshot harfbuzz freetype |
^-- circular dependency (also without '--oneshot')
I don't have any use flag set in my /etc/portage/make.conf .
Sorry if I tried crazy things or the problem is too simple for a post. If you need more information I'll answer as soon as I can.
Thanks in advance. |

Welcome to Gentoo.
Please post the error message from portage. As you don't have a GUI yet, use wgetpaste.
| Code: | | wgetpaste -c 'emerge --pretend --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world' |
will put everything on the web and give you a URL which you can share.
There will be no on screen output until the URL.
That's why its --pretend and not --ask because if it works, you would never see the question at the end of the output.
You will need to

Hi
Plz try
| Code: |
eselect profile set 1
env-update
USE="-truetype" emerge -1av freetype harfbuzz
USE="truetype harfbuzz" emerge -1av freetype harfbuzz
echo "media-libs/freetype harfbuzz" > /etc/portage/package.use/freetype
eselect profile set <some-desktop>
env-update
emerge -uDNav @world

for more plz see

Since you are still ar initial stages-- to err on the side of caution add also these before the rebuild@world
| Code: |
emerge -1av libxcrypt virtual/libcrypt ### there were reports of a circular dependency involving these and glibc
emerge -1av rust-bin ### if you prefer to avoid lengthy rust install later on

Thanks, the above commands worked, but I didn't see the edit: should I Ctrl-C the @world build? |
