This means that the target was seen a second time while recursing
through the dependency tree, so there must be a dependency cycle.
The cycle could be in the index, it could also exist because
of the currently installed packages that bring their own
dependencies.
Assuming that the cycle does not exist in the index you can
remove all your packages and reinstall everything from scratch
to make sure that all dependencies are followed correctly.
If the cycle is in the index, this obviously won't work.
