The package sys-devel/gettext links against the packages dev-libs/glib and dev-libs/libcroco, depclean wants to remove them but revdep-rebuild wants to put them back! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a basic system with sys-devel/gettext-0.17 2. Run emerge --depclean 3. Run revdep-rebuild Actual Results: emerge --depclean removes dev-libs/glib and dev-libs/libcroco revdep-rebuild adds dev-libs/glib and dev-libs/libcroco Expected Results: emerge --depclean should leave them alone or revdep-rebuild should not wish to add them # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.21-xen i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21-xen i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Timestamp of tree: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -pipe" DISTDIR="/mnt/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="buildpkg distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans usepkg userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gentoo.mesh-solutions.com/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/mnt/portage/packages/x86_32" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/portage/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acpi bash-completion berkdb caps cli cracklib crypt cups dri glibc-omitfp iconv isdnlog logrotate midi mmx ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre pppd readline reflection screen session spl sse ssl sysfs unicode userlocales x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 i810 imstt mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY # equery depends glib [ Searching for packages depending on glib... ] dev-libs/libcroco-0.6.1 (>=dev-libs/glib-2) # equery depends libcroco [ Searching for packages depending on libcroco... ] sys-devel/gettext-0.17 (dev-libs/libcroco) # emerge --depclean -p *** WARNING *** Depclean may break link level dependencies.

Yeah, so maybe re-emerge this thing then since it's been fixed 1 1/2 month ago for Bug 204851.
fair enough. :-) I would have thought a version bump would have been in order if either the deps had been changed or the .configure script fixed.
