I think this would be better discussed on the gentoo-dev mailing list than in a bug report. By removing the account, you're corrupting the dependency. No package manager verifies that package's dependencies haven't been corrupted. In some cases the package in question may fail with more or less useful message if it employs build-time checks for the dependencies but that's neither guaranteed nor expected to be relied on. So sorry but this is really expected behavior. If you corrupt any package, you need to reinstall *that package* (and even that won't fix all the ways you could break it), not its reverse dependency. |
