It really does mean exactly what it says. Look at it again: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(dependency required by "sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.1.3-r3[-dynamic]" [ebuild]) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It's saying there is a dependency, and the package that requires it is |
| 17 |
cryptsetup. Read it like this:: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
(dependency, required by ..... ) |
