I updated world yesterday which gave me a new com_err release. Saw the notice about running revdep-rebuild fly by when I did it but ignored it because I've never really needed to do this before.
Soon thereafter I could not ssh to the box because of the missing libcom_err.so.3 file and realized that I had ignored the message at my own peril... So revdep-rebuild is currently running on the box but I'm wondering how often the revdep-rebuild needs to be run... Any suggestions from you folks out there in gentoo land? I'm thinking about building a cron script to run early in the morning and, if a recent emerge has taken place, run revdep-rebuild automatically. Does this sound like a good idea or not? Does revdep-rebuild rebuild the same version of the packages that are currently installed or will it do a package update from the portage tree? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
