Did you try emerge -uDpNv --with-bdeps=y world as well?
(In reply to comment #4) > Did you try > > emerge -uDpNv --with-bdeps=y world > > as well? > Ah, no that worked. Any chance --with-bdeps could be highlighted (i.e. colored) in the error message for us "blind" people? Even better would be if it just said: "Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world --with-bdeps y` prior to depclean?" Any way, I guess this goes to INVALID? I would change it myself, but I'm afraid I would break something.
It's a dupe... I don't think this is worth an enhanced error message as it's only affecting build-time dependencies. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 246000 ***
