Following the information in /usr/pors/UPDATING takes care of the 
dependency loop...
(And yes it includes pkgdb -Ff)

So it got me further, but i still have issues with compoiling gnome2,
gnome2-power-tools and evince.

I belive evince is the showstopper here with:
checking for gsapi_new_instance in -lgs... no
configure: error: You need libgs in order to compile libspectre


Am i the only one? Or is everyone else also waiting for a final update 
taking care of this?
