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:

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.

Well, I would expect it to properly recalculate broken packages after
previous run that failed to complete to build failures
From my understanding, it looks for what packages link/use/whatever the
library then it rebuilds them all. I guess this is one way to catch
them all for sure but it is sort of difficult to know what was already
fixed and what is still broke.
I think I see what you are expecting and I wish it was that way but it
appears we are not getting what we want with this. Is it doable, maybe,
but not at the moment. By the way, I run the unstable versions of those
tools.
I guess if the emerge fails, then one would have to use the --resume
option to try to rebuild packages or just rebuild what fails by hand and
hope you don't miss anything.
