Either we time it so they just rebuild at the same time (ie when the package is unmasked or stable-keyworded), or we commit the revbump earlier which would force a superfluous rebuild. Technically there could (in theory at least) be a way of rewriting the vdb to have the correct sub-slot entries (i had a script that did this during my EAPI=4-slot-abi testing) but this isn't particularily safe and would probably cause more issues for end users than the libpng-1.6 bump WITHOUT slot-operatored rdeps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlFiChMACgkQ2ugaI38ACPBtYAD/YWxxprE1szh2meJVBt16Q+8x it+AvHEbMiRetCHchoUA/R0Nkw0Tg6zrx0jO/RgA5U4/H6GGWZUO27VYz8TFu5ae =yIRc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
