#26395 closed defect (duplicate)

Circular dependency in python26 -- cannot install — at Version 1

Reported by: aaronbrashears@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: python26

Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

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.
