12 If you use --dynamic-deps=n then you are likely to experience more
13 dependency conflicts (or unsatisfied deps) triggered by installed
14 packages that have since had their dependencies changed without a
15 revision bump. These dependency conflicts are like the ones that you've
16 experienced with binary packages [1], but they will apply to installed
17 packages instead of binary packgaes.
