I've just got this after an emerge -u @world
!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: dev-libs/icu-50.1-r2

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

You won't see that because the subsequent programs run by your alias will
scroll it out of view. The important point is that although the library
update could have broken gptfdisk, it didn't because portage is holing
onto the old library until I have run emerge @preserved-rebuild. Contrast
this with the previous approach of letting emerge break important
software and relying on revdep-rebuild to get it working again.
