12 Sure, but this seems more like a portage bug (or at least a portage
13 output bug) rather than a fundamental issue.
14
15 After all, there was no true block - just a need for a rebuild.
16
17 I heard prerm as a reason why dynamic deps can break (especially with
18 slot operator deps, though obviously it also breaks for
19 non-slot-operator deps that should be expressed as such), though as
20 has been pointed out those will break unless we unmerge and remerge
21 all reverse-deps on every upgrade. Are there other issues.
22
23 To be honest I was expecting a plethora of issues that can go wrong
24 with dynamic deps, but so far I'm hearing something like 2-3, and if
25 that really is all that there is then this may be a solvable issue.
