11 I suggest you to use the ebuild from bug 172611 [1]. Unfortunately
12 there has not been any progress of udept upstream in the last months.
13 So this ebuild fixes a few issues.
14
15 There are other things where udept will not work properly, like it
16 does not know anything about EAPI's so far, which causes the
17 dependency and reverse dependency calculation to report false
18 positives.
19
20 dep -w works reliable though. If you are unsure you can always backup
21 the world file before, but when emerge -avuND world goes through
22 without any errors I think you are safe.
