Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

This problem is triggered when a slot operator dependency becomes broken due to a sub-slot change in a dependency, and the rebuild fails (or the rebuild is not triggered due to --complete-graph-if-new-ver being disabled). After the dependency is broken, in later dependency calculations, emerge does not trigger a rebuild in order to resolve it.

This test case demonstrates the problem:
