When running "emerge -pvuDN --with-bdeps=y @world" I saw that portage wanted to rebuild sys-libs/zlib-1.2.7, but it was no upgrade, no use changes, just a normal yellow "R". I managed to get it down to a minimal example triggering this bahaviour, if I try to upgrade x11-libs/libpciaccess it first wants to rebuild zlib. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -pv x11-libs/libpciaccess Actual Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Created attachment 360122 [details] emerge -pv --debug x11-libs/libpciaccess
I think this is what happens when the libpciaccess dep goes from just "sys-libs/zlib" to "sys-libs/zlib[$MULTILIB_USEDEP]" which expands to (something like): sys-libs/zlib[abi_x86_32(-),abi_x86_64(-)] I would guess that this vague rebuild is reproducible in other cases where a dep goes from "cat/libfoo" to "cat/libfoo[bar(-)]" where the current version of libfoo does not have any "bar" in IUSE. Kind of a funny portage quirk, not exactly a disaster though. I can reproduce this too, btw: # emerge -pv x11-libs/libpciaccess These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
