Then what does the following mean?  Is it unreliable?

sys-libs/db-1.85-r1
DEPENDED ON BY:
        app-arch/rpm-4.2
        dev-lang/perl-5.8.5-r5
        dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1
        mail-mta/postfix-2.1.5-r2
        sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5
        sys-libs/pam-0.77-r6

and on and on for all the installed versions.


it mean that some packages have an explicit depend on it.
But this is _not_ required, and probably there are many more that depend on db.
