Not unless the --complete-graph option is enabled. What I'd like to do is to automatically enable --complete-graph mode whenever the USE of an installed package would change. It would be like that --complete-graph-if-new-ver option which is already enabled by default, but it would apply to USE instead of versions. -- Thanks, Zac
