Even those are not always appropriate. Sometimes messages like that |
| 15 |
are displayed even when, for the particular build it is not actually |
| 16 |
necessary to rebuild the other packages - that only being necessary |
| 17 |
when upgrading from version <x.y. This can lead to users either |
| 18 |
performing unnecessary (and sometimes lengthy) rebuilds or getting so |
| 19 |
used to seeing the message that the next time a rebuild really is |
| 20 |
needed they do not do it (the "cry wolf" syndrome). |
