When you've emerged the packages with the doc USE flag disabled you will be able to enable the flag and remerge the packages with --newuse as the packages will then be installed which means the circular deps are already satisfied. And yes, this is a known issue. Hopefully portage 2.1.3 will have a better solution.. -- Bo Andresen
