Error log
Total: 3 packages (3 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
* Error: circular dependencies:
(media-libs/harfbuzz-2.8.1:0/0.9.18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(media-libs/freetype-2.10.4:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op)
(media-libs/harfbuzz-2.8.1:0/0.9.18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
* Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
* disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.
Directly remove harfbuzz USE flag for freetype doesn’t work.
--oneshot, -1
Emerge as normal, but do not add the packages to the world file for later updating.
WARNING: This option should only be used for packages that are reachable from the @world package set (those that would not be removed by --depclean), since dependencies of unreachable packages are allowed to be broken when satisfying dependencies of other packages. Broken dependencies of this sort will invalidate assumptions that make it possible for
--deep to be disabled by default.
--nodeps, -O
Merges specified packages without merging any dependencies. Note that the build may fail if the dependencies aren't satisfied.
So let’s install the dependencies manually and then reinstall harfbuzz &
freetype
