gimp-2.8 build break from circular dependency with gimp-help-en

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

gimp depends on gimp-help-en.

gimp-help-en depends on gimp.

This circular dependency breaks installation of both ports.

See attached log for details.

Search for "Couldn't find GIMP-2.0 installation."

Simple fix is to remove gimp-help-en from gimp2 Portfile.

Verified.

Removing the gimp-help dependency from the gimp2 Portfile now allows both gimp2 and the gimp meta package to install cleanly.

Are done this? Removing the gimp-help dependency from the gimp2 Portfile now allows both gimp2 and the gimp meta package to install cleanly.

I run upgrade outdated and clean --all installed first, but install gimp-help-en failed

gimp-help-en depends on gimp.

No it does not, but if you did not have gimp installed already, you did indeed get this error:

Search for "Couldn't find GIMP-2.0 installation."

This was already reported and fixed in #35283.

There is no need to manually apply any patches. I already committed the fix for that ticket 9 hours ago. You just need to "sudo port selfupdate" to receive the fix, and clean and try again.
