[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild reports broken libs, should I worry?

["Dave Nebinger" <dnebinger@joat.com>]

On a run of revdep-rebuild I get the following output:

butthead ~ # revdep-rebuild -p

Now the reason for 'broken' is that I don't have gnome installed, that much
I understand.  And I'm cool with the fact that revdep-rebuild didn't try to
install gnome even though these are marked as broken.

The question is, I guess, whether 'broken' has some other meaning than what
I'm thinking, and do I need to be worried?
