Probably the most reliable version of revdep-rebuild currently in the tree is in gentoolkit 0.2.4_pre5. Might want to use that for a while. Also /etc/revdep-rebuild/ contains some files that affect what revdep-rebuild finds. > Is there a script that uses the "equery check" functionality and lists > both broken packages and orphans in the system directories not accounted > for? - this seems like a good start. I'm sure there are some nasty scripts flowing around on the forums. qcheck -a and qfile -o are available in portage-utils, however, there are *lots* af files not owned by any package that are essential on a gentoo system.
