so basically as the title suggest i have found myself in a quite strang and frustrating event while trying to install steam launcher.
when i try to install it it states the following:
-
- Error: circular dependencies:
(media-libs/freetype-2.13.2:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(media-libs/harfbuzz-8.5.0:0/6.0.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(media-libs/freetype-2.13.2:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op)
***It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- media-libs/freetype-2.13.2 (Change USE: -harfbuzz)
(This change might require USE changes on parent packages.)
Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed.***
so when trying to emerge it with both having tried adding -harfbuzz into /etc/portage/make.conf and trying this command: "sudo USE="-harfbuzz" emerge -av steam-launcher
"
it outputs the following at the end:
***It might be possible to solve this slot collision
by applying all of the following changes:
- media-libs/freetype-2.13.2 (Change USE: +harfbuzz)***
Basically leaving me unable to install steam and now even update my system, can somebody help me out of whats going on right now?
