Not in the sort of cases that come up most often, where functionality has |
| 10 |
been moved from a package into another. In this case the block is |
| 11 |
entirely predictable. If, for example, you are updating xpdf from version |
| 12 |
<=X to version >X, it will both require and block poppler. The dev has |
| 13 |
already modified the ebuild to handle the new dependency, so he will know |
| 14 |
about the block. |
