All of this is on my todo list for the next major revision of revdep-rebuild. The one bug that I haven't found an easy, quick, reliable method to fix is Bug 63643 (revdep-rebuild does not rebuild libraries with unresolved symbols). If anyone has suggestions for that one, I would highly appreciate it. Regards, Paul -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
