Thanks :) Actually all of the current versions of revdep-rebuild are broken and always remove the cache files after completion. The exception to this is when --pretend is used.
When it is fixed in the next version of gentoolkit, the behavior is to keep the files if it is a pretend run or if emerge exits with a non-zero status. Note: emerge will exit with a non-zero status if --keep-going is used and there is a build failure. Regards, Paul
