Hello list,

I had an interesting one today: app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle on a 
~amd64 box was to be updated, but it couldn't because the licence had changed 
from PUEL to PUEL-11. That one change caused another 35 packages to be 
dropped because of conflicting dependencies. I needed a few minutes to find the 
problem, and it was easily fixed, but I was interested to see that such a small 
licence change could spread consequences so far.

Regards,
Peter.
