lapy portage # equery depends dev-libs/folks
 * These packages depend on dev-libs/folks:
gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.4.2 (>=dev-libs/folks-0.5.2)
gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-3.4.1 (>=dev-libs/folks-0.6.1.1[eds])
net-im/empathy-2.34.0-r2 (>=dev-libs/folks-0.4)

interesting that it is trying to downgrade folks: [ebuild     UD ]
dev-libs/folks-0.4.3 [0.6.9]

I guess I will watch the bug for now as I was able to work around the prime
issue (mesa) and get the machine to a desktop again.
