I have a weekly system health check cron job that includes revdep-rebuild -pi (hint to Alan: that's the correct way to have revdep-rebuild ignore the results of previous runs). It rarely finds anything. There's still the occasional glitch with preserved-libs, but I fons it works ninety-lots % of the time, and it is far better than the "let it break then try to fix it approach" of the days we needed to rely on revdep-rebuild. -- Neil Bothwick God is real, unless specifically declared integer.
