The latter, it happens from time to time. I see it here about once every 2 months or so (i.e. seldom). I suppose this is the best we can expect, seeing as how it all works: @preserved-rebuild tries to remember everything that uses everything and detect changes, this will never be 100%, revdep-rebuild actively looks for brokenness and still sometimes gets it wrong (dynamic plugin modules anyone?) The specifics depend on the exact package. Maybe also file a bug so Zac can look it over just in case there in a useful tweak he can make -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
