I won't say this is impossible, but in general it hasn't been true for a |
| 9 |
long time in Gentoo. Old libraries are left behind until you rebuild the |
| 10 |
things that link against them (that's what emerge @preserved-rebuild |
| 11 |
does). When used correctly, subslot dependencies in ebuilds avoid the |
| 12 |
need for even that additional step. |
