Hi,

I tried today to build vim but it fails.
Now I want to make sure all packages needed by vim are installed
correctly. To do this I decided to reinstall all packages need be vim.

I checked the man page of emerge but could not found an option for this.

Is there a possibility to reinstall all packages needed by vim?


Thanks
Matthias

Normally portage handels the depencies himself, so everything should be installed.

Do revdep-rebuild to check that.

# equery depgraph vim

Provide ous some more information about how vim fails. Runtime, build or what failure you get. The problem with reinstlling all dependencies is, how deep you would like to go. To check the whole dependency tree use
