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...

(Why haven't I updated in 3 months? Because 3 months ago I reorganized my living room, where my Threadripper buildbox lives, and I'd been too lazy to wire it up again until recently. Yeah, yeah, I know.)
