  • [gentoo-user] The old wine/harfbuzz/freetype circle ...

    From antlists@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 18 20:40:02 2021
    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,

    This should work:

    # USE="-harfbuzz" emerge media-libs/freetype
    # emerge media-libs/harfbuzz
    # emerge media-libs/freetype

    HTH,

    I recently discovered this wiki page, maybe the steps listed there will

    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

    Thanks. While the site's solutions were pretty much what I'd already
    tried and failed, it told me what I needed to do ...

    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,
