If you want to cope with poor package maintenance practices you might also need to scan the entire repository to find packages which had a dependency added after the package in question was installed. I forget if portage does this currently - I do remember this being the topic of a fair bit of debate a while back. I'm pretty sure failing to revbump when dependencies are changed is considered a QA issue for this reason. -- Rich
