We all love to talk about that area :)
I am also sending something like this.

Anyway, poudriere rebuilds the package only to rewrite the version of dependent packages.
And because the package is removed too soon, packages that do not need to be rebuilt are also included in the queue to be rebuilt.

And I don't have the skills to be able to present the code that would fix the problem :)

Well, if we make the mistake of operating poudriere and need to rebuild a lot of packages, we can just watch net*lix :)

Regards.
