emerge --info

After a new installation of `google-chrome` in the stable channel, run `google-chrome-stable` will report: 

"/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory",
and it fails to start.

With `sys-labs/libcap` installed, the error message gone and `google-chrome-stable` will start as normal.

BTW, one can successfully `emerge -c libcap` with `google-chrome` installed, but it will report: 

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: sys-libs/libcap-2.22
 *  - /lib64/libcap.so.2
 *  - /lib64/libcap.so.2.22
 *      used by /opt/google/chrome/chrome (www-client/google-chrome-33.0.1750.117_p1)

However, run `emerge @preserved-rebuild` would just reinstall `google-chrome` and it still fails to start.

It seems that `libcap` should be considered as a dependance of `google-chrome`.

I've reproduced this bug, missing sys-libs/libcap dependancy
