Without having the full output of revdep-rebuild to hand, one can only 
guess. It's not a arch vs ~arch issue as 3.5.9-r4 is already stable, so 
I would guess that the one package that came up in the first 
revdep-rebuild  is now pulling in the others in the second.

What was that package?

You also used revdep-rebuild -p, which re-uses the data from the last 
run of the program. Try again with -i as well to rescan the system
