Description Michal Suchanek 2007-04-22 10:50:54 UTC
When portage unmerges a package that contains old version of a library, all packages that require the library break because there is only the newer version.

I suggest that the library is moved to somewhere like /lib.old or /usr/lib.old, and removed only after revdep-rebuild.

Should be easy to do, I have seen it working in a different distro.

No, you should run revdep-rebuild.
