[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild question
Greetings, after the emerge -uDN world of today i proceeded with revdep-rebuild which found nothing to to. But i noticed, that the emerge recommended to execute revdep-rebuild --library='libosp.so.*'. Doing this two packages were found and emerged. Now, shouldn't these have been found already by the previous revdep-rebuild? Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)

To test my theory you can run the command again and see if it finds the same 2 packages again. :)

The file was installed by portage and subsequently modified. When you uninstalled the package, portage didn't remove this file because the mtime differed from what it had installed. This typically occurs with .la files (Mark's revdep-rebuild output showed some of these) after fix_libtool_files.sh has changed them. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 11: Terribly pleased signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild question
Hi, I'm not clear why revdep-rebuild is showing lots of broken linkages but then telling me everything is in order and there is no work to do to clean up the system. I haven't seen this before. What's causing it? What's the process to get this cleaned up and down to no messages about broken things?

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? You're on the right track with the wrong command. 'equery depends package tells you what packages depend on the given package. You want 'equery belongs binary' which will tell you what ebuild put the file there. You get three cases: 1. It's an orphan, left over from an unmerge that wasn't fully successful. if you don't need them, delete them. 2. A package was installed, and it created it's own binaries for it's own use.
