I think the missing part of my understanding might be that IDEPEND needs to be satisfied by: - Packages installing binpkg's ( which don't need src_fetch, unpack, etc ) - Package managers *removing* packages. As in, if a package declares IDEPEND="foo" And "foo" is not available when asking portage to "emerge -C bar" Portage must demand that "foo" is reinstalled to allow "bar" to be removed ( as foo needs to be there to complete pkg_*rm ) This probably gonna make package manager fun :)
