 Replying to [comment:3 todmorrison@…]:
 > Unfortunately it does not automatically rebuild dependents, and having
 it do so could cause more problems than it solves. Probably, what we need
 is something like Gentoo's "revdep-rebuild"
 (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml).[[BR]]

 After having a short glance at the details provided about the
 [http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml gentoolkit], I have to say
 that this looks really good. And the "revdep-rebuild" would indeed suited
 this situation perfect:

 > It will scan your installed ebuilds to find packages that have become
 broken as a result of an upgrade of a package they depend on. It can
 > emerge those packages for you but it can also happen that a given
 package does not work anymore with the currently installed dependencies,
 > in which case you should upgrade the broken package to a more recent
 version.

 Tempting!
