#26395: Circular dependency in python26 -- cannot install --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: aaronbrashears@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: python26 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- sudo port install python26 ---> Computing dependencies for python26Error: Internal error: port lookup failed: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> Using -> as an indication of dependency, it turns out: python26 -> tk -> Xft2 -> xrender -> xorg-libX11 -> xorg-libxcb -> xorg- xcb-proto -> python26 So there is a circular dependency making everything in the chain and anything that depends on something in that chain uninstallable. In my case, that is git-core. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26395> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
