No, not in this case. |

Emerge is clearly looking for any tenible excuse not to do anything |
| 15 |
whatsoever, and will not do anything at all if any such excuse exists. |

Six months ago, it wasn't like this. It would generally plow ahead and |
| 18 |
start compiling the shit you asked it to. This WOULD sometimes cause |
| 19 |
problems, which could affect multi-user systems and server situations, |
| 20 |
but on my desktop, all of these problems would go away by the end of the |
| 21 |
update list and 95% of the time, revdep-rebuild wouldn't have anything |
| 22 |
to do. |

And then some pinhead got an idea that you could verify the workingness |
| 25 |
of every package by spending twenty minutes of cpu time examining |
| 26 |
ebuilds.... |

This could work, (given 20 minutes) almost, if you set --backtrack=30. |
| 29 |
However, not having this set by default is a wonderful opportunity to |
| 30 |
annoy the crap out of the user and such opportunities are never to be |
| 31 |
passed up. NEVER!! |
