If yes, I can't really help, I'm on portage 2.1. > I have portage 2.1.6.13. -a does not apply on this version of revdep-rebuild. Do not bother anymore. As long as revdep-rebuild says that everything is consistent I'll count on it. It was just plain curiosity based on the different reports between python-upgrade and revdep-rebuild(could it be a python-upgrade's bug? Does gentoo have bugs!?!?!? :). Anyway, thanks for helping.
