You need to read the portage man pages. There is nothing inconsistent about |
| 68 |
your system and there is nothing to fix. So revdep-rebuild was pointless. |

|
| 70 |
Those two packages are BUILD DEPENDS, not RUNTIME DEPENDS. |
| 71 |
They only need to be upgraded when you emerge something that will use then in |
| 72 |
the build phase. |

|
| 74 |
Portage has had this nice feature for ages. You can switch it off in make.conf |
