(In reply to comment #0) > The re-emerge of kde-base/pykde4-4.6.5-r1 is gone - an expected behaviour ? It's somewhat expected behavior, though we can probably improve it. The issue is that the initial autounmask calculation a sort of approximation, not a final dependency calculation. One possible fix might be to make emerge repeat the dependency calculation from scratch with the autounmask settings it has created, those this could wast considerable time in some cases.

I'd expect it yield the same merge list. What's causing this rebuild there in comment 0?
(In reply to comment #4) > Why is it only approximate? I'd expect it yield the same merge list. What's > causing this rebuild there in comment 0? I don't know, probably a backtracking quirk. It would help to see some --debug output. There's some additional debug output added in portage-2.1.10.5 that may be helpful: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=84d7468855226af62e7e156967b4211cc5782fd6
There's a similar case with debug output attached to bug 375573.
