Here is a curiosity with DEPENDs I've seen on a couple systems
with 2.0.51_pre12, and Jason Wever <weeve@g.o> has mentioned
something similar.  A recent upgrade (sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4) on
sparc contains DEPEND=">=sys-apps/texinfo-4.3 ....

With .51_pre12, on some (but not all) systems, this eventually gets
translated into ">=sys-devel/gcc-4.3" and then of course fails.

This problem does not occur with sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r8

Three comments:
1. It seems to be related to how much stuff is installed on the
   systems.  The two failing systems have a gread many packages
   installed; the two successful systems (for me) have somewhat fewer.

2. The ebuild itself doesn't matter.  For me, adding
   ">=sys-apps/texinfo-4.3" to any ebuild triggers the failure.

3. The "4.3" doesn't matter. If I change it to 98.6, I get
