40 My guess would be that it's just a build time dependency (BDEP) for something.
41 Try to add --with-bdeps=y to your emerge commandline (most likely there will be
42 some other packages pulled in too).
43 These packages don't need to be updated unless the package depending on it
44 need to be rebuild.
