We already discussed in the bug how it *would* be possible, just nobody implements it: Portage would have to use dynamic deps throughout, using the data stored in /var/db only to find out the correct information for := dependencies. This would fix the behaviour except for some corner cases concerning orphaned packages which can lead to broken situations with any approach. > This is not theoretical physics Indeed, it just would just need a little programming.
