In my case, this was the umpteenth time I encountered circular blocks. After asking the first couple of times, I settled down to a pattern of unmerging both halves of the problem and restarting the emerge. This has worked fine until now. And yes, I've seen the warning about "may harm your system" a lot of times. If it didn't come up as often as Vista's UAC warning, when manually unmerging stuff, I probably would've asked first. To quote The Firesign Theatre... "Everything you know is wrong". Procedures that worked OK so far blew up this time. All I can say is not to be annoyed in the next little while when people start asking about how to handle each and every circular block they run into.
