Hi Joop, 

this is called "buildcycle" and should be avoided. in cases where it isn't 
possible one needs to manually break the cycle to make bootstrapping work. 

we have many such buildcycles that are not a problem with incremental builds, 
but with bootstrapping (like for example java-1_6_0-openjdk requiring ant, 
which requires java-1_6_0-openjdk for building). This is the part where it 
gets ugly :-)

if this is not a real dependency (e.g. the package works just fine without the 
dependency) then it might be a good idea to permanently remove it. 

Greetings,
Dirk
