9 It will only update dependencies when they are strictly required by the
10 new version, same like emerge if you don't use -u (which should
11 only be used for system and world updates anyway). Basically
12 glsa-check -f some-glsa
13 will call
14 emerge --oneshot $EMERGE_OPTS =package-version
15 where 'version' is the lowest "safe" version that doesn't result in a
16 downgrade (of course if the system isn't affected it won't do anything).
