Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB However -> emerge -evp world [ebuild U ] x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.0 [1.1.0] 49 kB [0] [ebuild U ] sys-devel/automake-1.10.3 [1.10.2] 936 kB [0] Total: 536 packages (2 upgrades, 534 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 1,015 kB Portage tree and overlays: [0] /usr/portage [1] /var/lib/layman/science Where -> revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend --verbose * Checking dynamic linking consistency [ 100% ] * Dynamic linking on your system is consistent...
