One problem with emerge --nodeps is that it does not resolve file collisions in cases where two packages block each other. Normally, such collisions are resolved by removing the files from the contents of the installed package (the installed package is ultimately unmerged in order to solve the blocker), but with --nodeps the blockers are simply discarded and emerge treats all file collisions as fatal. Another problem is that --nodeps eliminates the dependency information that's needed for scheduling parallel builds with emerge --jobs. -- Thanks, Zac
