I've never had a problem with it, but I always -p before running a |

There is also the problem where a USE flag change causes breakage if the |
| 12 |
applications that use that flag are not rebuilt before doing the |

Perfect example: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
USE=acl emerge coreutils |
| 18 |
emerge --depclean |
| 19 |
ls |
