 Now, shouldn't these have been found already by the previous revdep-rebuild?

And after the next revdep-rebuild --library='libosp.so.*' the same two
packages are found and rebuild. And so on.

i5 hafi #  revdep-rebuild -p --library='libosp.so.*'

 I believe --library rebuilds everything that uses that library, not
 broken packages.
 
 To test my theory you can run the command again and see if it finds
 the same 2 packages again. :)

You are right and to quick to to hold back my own previous reply. ;)

Hard to understand a sentence with such many errors. A challenge. :)

I like puzzles but I understood perfectly what you said. :)

Alan,
   Seems reasonable. Would I (Could I?) then do an equery depends on
each binary and assuming nothing depends on it remove them by hand
without causing damage?

   I'd want to do another revdep-rebuild every so often to ensure that
things remained consistent.


Makes sense to me - doing the equery on the package that installed the  
binary (which may have a name unrelated).


IIUC, there are two tools useful for second/third opinions for this task;  
dep and pquery. Here's an example of their use on fftw:


dep -L fftw

pquery --vdb --revdep sci-libs/fftw

And as you idicated, do a revdep-rebuild after the manual deletion.
