Thanks. I'll give that a try in a minute. I found that running revdep-rebuild -i first failed showing the same sort of error and then the second time passed showing now errors: * Messages for package mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1: * To change the default browser if you are not using GNOME, do: * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command -t string 'mozilla %s' * * Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use. * * Junk filters are now a run-time choice.

All done. c2stable ~ # emerge -p @preserved-rebuild still wants to build stuff so I'm confused as the to the values of preserved-rebuild vs revdep-rebuild. Things are getting confusing... OK - tried your command but it's unclear whether it did anything: c2stable ~ # /usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh * Fixing broken libtool archives (.la) c2stable ~ # emerge @preserved-rebuild is now running again. I'll post back results later. Thanks, Mark
