note that cnet does not work with elfutils. see (closed) bug 67375.

[Comment 2 Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-11-28 06:20:17 UTC]

How to unmerge libelf or elflibs without screwing awk. I screwed awk, as I uninstalled libelf last time, an depscan.sh didn't work anymore. Well, I copied my system on an dual Opteron, did a chroot, and an emerge -eD gawk fixed the issue.

file a bug against specific packages

FYI libelf is the old deprecated package
