Revdep indeed is unhappy, but this is the final package of a sysup run. Does prt-get sysup run revdep and rebuild any packages that turn up in between every package it updates? Should it? If so, false positives become a real nuisance.
I am not sure I am the right person to answer this. But it doesn't do that. You can do the following until revdep is happy, it might take 2 or 3 runs: prt-get update -fr $(revdep)
I guess I need to ask frinnst et al. Running revdep has become de rigour to maintain CRUX platforms, it's just a question of how often. It seems to me revdep after every package install/update followed by rebuilding all flagged packages is becoming necessary. I would consider the platform broken as long as the affected packages are not rebuilt. But the impact of rebuilding qt5 etc. any time revdep determines the need is not trivial.
Or you know how to identify which library or package broke when you run: revdep -vvv harfbuzz-icu revdep -vvv boost
I think the itchiness of deeper analysis within revdep to eliminate false positives is increasing. So, everyone, what is best CRUX practice regarding revdep, and what changes, if any, do you think are indicated? -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
