More like bash's dependence. Well, and in the case of glibc just about everything. When those break you're basically stuck recovering from a rescue disk. Fortunately we haven't had glibc/gcc break ABI in quite a while, and preserved-rebuild covers a lot of the other issues. In any case, if you have a solution other than statically building half the system I'm sure patches will be welcome. FWIW Gentoo is about as hassle-free to use as it has ever been. It isn't debian stable, and it is unlikely to ever be that way... -- Rich
