Gentoo has one of the most complex package dependency graphs out there (probably the most complex of any distro), and it *really* takes a while to resolve when you have 2600 packages installed and haven't updated in 3 months. I wonder if it could be mapped to a SAT solver...

Challenge failed, mostly because I was too busy to babysit it when packages failed and broke the rebuild tree (boost. it's always boost breaking a build.) ~just 30 packages left and we're in 2021. So close!

This is why I switched to NixOS. Which is a delight.

how does the group of "packages other things depend on but that have no dependencies beyond the libc themselves" get sorted, anyway

Random, I guess. Obviously there are many possible orders. Also, package builds are parallelized, and package compilation and installation are separate actions (and have different dependencies). It's complicated. And the parallelization sometimes ends up quite inefficient.
