I'm wondering b/c at an ~x86 this packages was put into @preserved-libs too : tfoerste@n22 ~ $ sudo ~/workspace/bin/chr_uml.sh -c 'eix-update -q && emerge --update @world --deep --newuse --changed-use --with-bdeps=y' -r ~/virtual/uml/n22unst4 These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ...... done!

I'm not sure I can follow this report. These libs seem to be internal and courier-authlib links to them itself, so there should be no preserved-rebuild issue. Can you give me instructions how to reproduce this, what you'd expect to happen and what does happen? Is this still relevant with the current version?
Well, 5 years later - the affected system and its hardware is gone. probably I was wondering why at that time net-libs/courier-authlib was rebuild after it was updated. But again, I'll close this, or?
