There seem to be some missing dependencies to sys-libs/db in a hole lot of packages... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge depclean 2. revdep-rebuild --pretend --verbose 3.

Okay, in some of this packages this may be the effect of not doing a emerge --newuse but not for all of them... Introducing sys-libs/db as a dependency in some of these packages would probably fix this...

File bugs about specific packages if you think there's a problem. General breakage due to depclean is too open-ended for a bug report. Thanks.
