I think the missing part of my understanding might be that IDEPEND |
7 |
needs to be satisfied by: |
8 |
|
9 |
- Packages installing binpkg's ( which don't need src_fetch, unpack, etc ) |
10 |
- Package managers *removing* packages. |
11 |
|
12 |
As in, if a package declares IDEPEND="foo" |
13 |
|
14 |
And "foo" is not available when asking portage to "emerge -C bar" |
15 |
|
16 |
Portage must demand that "foo" is reinstalled to allow "bar" to be |
17 |
removed ( as foo needs to be there to complete pkg_*rm ) |
18 |
|

This probably gonna make package manager fun :) |
