[gentoo-dev] New PDEPEND behaviour.

[Piotr Jaroszyński]

Hello,

As a result of bug #180045 PDEPENDs can be now merged even before the package 
that pulls them. Zmedico says that's intended behaviour and PDEPEND is really 
a RDEPEND, but with a ability to resolve circular deps:
circular DEPEND <-> RDEPEND can't be resolved while circular DEPEND <-> 
PDEPEND can.
Random behaviour occurs when there is a circular RDEPEND <-> PDEPEND, e.g. bug 
#186517.

We need to update docs or harass zmedico to force PDEPEND to be pulled as soon 
as possible but not before the pkg that pulls it.
