1 This is a friendly reminder.

3 I've found the tree again to have dependencies like:
4
5 dev-libs/openssl:=
6 virtual/jpeg:=
7
8 Neither of which are correct, since dev-libs/openssl has SLOT="0" and
9 SLOT="0.9.8" and virtual/jpeg has SLOT="0" and SLOT="62".

11 Need to pull in the SLOT that installs headers:
12
13 dev-libs/openssl:0=
14 virtual/jpeg:0=
15
16 Same logic applies to any package with also "binary-only SLOTs" that
17 install libfoobar.so.1 and nothing else.
