| 7 | That's definitely not what we want. Only a package's DEPENDs have to be |
| 8 | installed and usable when that package is built. Its RDEPENDs don't |
| 9 | have to be installed until that package is treated as usable. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | For why this matters: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | cat/a-1: RDEPEND cat/b |
| 14 | cat/b-1: RDEPEND cat/a |
| 15 | |
| 16 | This is solvable. If package managers can't solve this, they can't |
| 17 | install Gnome off a stage 3... |
