10 Beats me. I run a stable system, so probably it just needed the right
11 combination of packages to stabilize. Or maybe it was the change in
12 xorg-2.eclass that triggered it. Or maybe no one else has noticed that
13 there's a useless package on his system (that will be stranded until all
14 of the affected packages get upgrades/revisions) and tried to remove it.
15 Or maybe everyone has set USE="-gentoo-dev" for portage to avoid this
16 perpetual clown show. Or...
17
18 what difference does it make? It already took me 100x longer to figure
19 out what went wrong than it would have taken to make the revisions in
20 the first place. I don't want to waste any more. I'm still tracking down
21 more packages that need to be rebuilt by hand because RDEPEND was
22 changed in an eclass too.
