It shouldn't, I am sure I have used this some times before and it

revdep-rebuild maintainer here to clarify this please? Thanks :)
I always run revdep-rebuild with the -i option. It starts fresh each
time or is supposed to anyway. This is a snipped list of what was
rebuilt the first time and that it says it wants to rebuild again as I
just ran it again:
root@fireball / # revdep-rebuild -i --library libpng14.so.14 -- -a -j5

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
That list is identical to the first time I ran it. I don't know what
you were expecting but this is what it does.
