6 That is because the ebuilds install a file in /etc/revdep-rebuild that
7 instruct revdep-rebuild to mask the appropriate directories.
8
9 Quoting from "man revdep-rebuild"
10
11 CONFIGURATION
12 revdep-rebuild no longer uses hardcoded paths. To change the default behavior the following variables can be
13 changed by the user.
14
15 SEARCH_DIRS - List of directories to search for executables and libraries
16
17 SEARCH_DIRS_MASK - List of directories to not search
18
19 These variables can be prepended to either by setting the variable in your environment prior to execution, by
20 placing an entry in /etc/make.conf, or by placing a file in /etc/revdep-rebuild containing the appropriate
21 variables.
22
23 The variables are read and set in the following order:
24
25 environment settings - one time changes by user
26 /etc/make.conf - persistant changes by user
27 /etc/revdep-rebuild/* - persistant changes by ebuild authors
28
29 While a user can edit and modify the files in the /etc/revdep-rebuild directory, please be aware that the
30 /etc/revdep-rebuild directory is not under configuration protection and files can be removed and/or overwritten
31 by an ebuild. To change this add /etc/revdep-rebuild to the CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf.
