15 I wouldn't throw away -uDNp just because of this.

17 On my system there are only two packages that depend on libgsf:
18
19 gnumeric =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.10*
20 librsvg >=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.6
21
22 So librsvg can survive with an libgsf version as old as 1.6.
23
24 My solution has been adding these lines to /etc/portage/package.mask:
25 =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.0
26 =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.1
27
28 Ofcourse I could also use >=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.0, but I prefer to be
29 notified if there is a new version available.
