Summary:                    Modules adding depends when they arent there
Description: 
Ok this is kind of had to describe but I will try anyway.  With theedge
installed I get the following dependancies installed when they arent in
the DEPENDS file.  For example I was updating the galeon module this
morning and I removed some depends namely the depends gnome-libs line and
I was left with this:

nhudson at marieco ~ $ lvu DEPENDS galeon
depends  mozilla     &&
depends  libgnomeui

Now with theedge only if I type lin -c -r galeon it will install go and
try to install gnome-libs for some reason even though its not in the
DEPENDS file.  This doesnt happen if I switch to lunar and try to
compile.

dude...

this only happens when you use a CVS moonbase, as the entries in
depends.cache are outdated. Currently they are not scanned for changes
because the overhead would be too great. you can run
lsh->create_depends_cache to force recreation of the depends cache...
automating this would be cumbersome, I might have to turn off caching
completely alltogether for CVS moonbases.
