Im not convinced theres actually an infinite loop. The depends file that was
attached had a fantastically large number of duplicate entries.
The file appeared to be 43890 lines long, with 235 unique lines. So it
seems that cast --fix was taking all of the lines including the duplicated
entries, and appearing to loop over on itself.
So theres three angles to fix this from. First you can run the new cleanse
tool. Specifically cleanse --delint full. This will remove malformed lines,
stale depends, and most importantly, duplicate lines. Chances are we forced
you to do this on the last stable sorcery update, and your file is smaller
now.
Second the depends code should remove related lines before adding new ones.
This has been the case for quite some time and shouldn't be happening.
Third, the depends retrieval code could sort|uniq out duplicated
entries as an extra safe-guard.
