I think the missing part of my understanding might be that IDEPEND
needs to be satisfied by:
- Packages installing binpkg's ( which don't need src_fetch, unpack, etc )
- Package managers *removing* packages.
As in, if a package declares IDEPEND="foo"
And "foo" is not available when asking portage to "emerge -C bar"
Portage must demand that "foo" is reinstalled to allow "bar" to be
removed ( as foo needs to be there to complete pkg_*rm )
This probably gonna make package manager fun :)
