13 It can, for example, if the major version of the kernel has changed but you
14 havent rebuild xorg since (I only recall having this issue once).
15
16 If you use newuse and changed-deps with emerge its probably less likely to
17 find other issues.

27 I've checked the dependencies on my system, and firefox is pulling that in
28 for me, but checking the ebuilds you can see it becomes a dependency from
29 v60 onwards;
30
31 /usr/portage/www-client/firefox $ ls
32 files/ firefox-52.9.0.ebuild Manifest
33 firefox-52.6.0.ebuild firefox-60.1.0.ebuild metadata.xml
34 firefox-52.8.0.ebuild firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild
35 /usr/portage/www-client/firefox $ grep clang *
36 grep: files: Is a directory
37 firefox-60.1.0.ebuild: >=sys-devel/clang-4.0.1
38 firefox-60.1.0.ebuild: has_version "sys-devel/clang:${LLVM_SLOT}"
39 firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild: >=sys-devel/clang-4.0.1
40 firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild: has_version "sys-devel/clang:${LLVM_SLOT}"
41 /usr/portage/www-client/firefox $
