Am I right? Do you undestand what I say?
You are right, you should not need to run revdep-rebuild after a depclean. As long as you check the output of depclean -p before actually removing any packages, you should be OK. Running revdep-rebuild is usually a precaution, based on depclean's previously unreliable behaviour. I've found it to be quite solid nowadays, as long as you follow the recommendation to do emerge -uavDN world before running it. -- Neil Bothwick Bookmark - A means of returning to where you got lost last time.
