Was it an endless loop? AIUI you emerged twice and the

manually.
If I don't run it forever then I don't think I can say it would never
clear up. Can't prove a negative, etc.
When you get identical package lists on subsequent runs, I think it's
fair to say it won't fix itself. This has never happened to me.
I had this happen to me the other day. I ran preserved-rebuild 3 or 4
times with the last two or three being the same. I can't recall if I
posted it here or not, I think I did tho, but I did eventually get it
sorted by emerging packages in a certain order. After that, it came
back clean with nothing needing to be rebuilt.
I update about twice a week as a general rule. Sort of depends.
