(as in: do you still use revdep-rebuild?) I haven't used revdep-rebuilt in a while, since preserved-rebuild works fine. Or let me phrase it differently: when a libpng update turned konqueror is a complete crashfest NEITHER preserved-rebuild NOR revdep-rebuild did anything about it. Only reading the error message and a lot of thinking, followed by manual interference solved the problem - until the next minor libpng-bump sent me back to hell. > > If you want my opinion on subslots: > # grep EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS /etc/portage/make.conf > EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y" > > . >
