>Description:
<pkgsrc>/devel/kdbg depends upon kdevelop
<pkgsrc>/devel/kdevelop depends upon kdbg.
As a result, with clean pkgsrc directories, it is impossible to
build. (Make recurses back and forth until it fails, then spews
a lot of errors and dies.)
>How-To-Repeat:
<update pkgsrc>
cd <pkgsrc>/devel/kdbg
make clean
make deinstall
cd ../kdevelop
make clean
make update
>Fix:
One pkg should stop depending upon the other.
Previously, I think, kdbg depended upon kdevelop. (I had built both
in the past, and udpating kdevelop seemed to cause kdbg to deinstall.)
But I don't know the rationale for the new (cycle-causing) dependancy.
