I'm a cynical old fart who's seen it all (more than once) before si I'm inclined to reply with "yes, portage is getting smarter about breakages" and append to that "by fixing one problem - revdep-rebuild - and introducing a vast slew of new! shiny! improved! wonderful bugs that will make your life more miserable than revdep-rebuild ever could!" :-) Now you go and have yourself a nice day, y'hear? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
