It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- sci-mathematics/sage-9999 (Change USE: -latex)

Not sure what to do

$ grep -R sagetex etc/portage/
etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/sage-9999:=dev-tex/sagetex-3*

unless maybe a ~ is missing?

I have removed sagetex-3.5-r1 with the same result.

Same issue on gentoo,

I think this is case where I just remove the latex flag in sage and remove the dependency and say that you can install the package for extra functionality. The other possibility would be to move sagetex to PDEPEND. I will probably start with that, but removal will be on my mind.

7f29c6d34c73df5cbcc3f7d6a30df5df53ec1af7 should fix it.

[strogdon]

The commit fixes things here. No one should see the issue after the commit.

Thanks.
