This kind of subslot mess is so irritating:

workstation ~ # emerge -aDjtuv --changed-use @world && dispatch-conf && emerge 
-a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

Just whomever decided to add the 16 subslot caused libpng ~amd64 to be pulled
for those amd64 packages. Gentoo has a long history of libpng ~amd64 problems.
What is the need for the stinking 0/16 subslot here? What was it not good
enough to slot 1.6.6 as 1.6?

And with this *new* subslotting, what is The Gentoo Way (TM) to keep stable
libpng in this instance?

Cheers,
Bruce
