Also, try running prelink on the system - I found a number of old,
orphaned binaries on a ~5yr plus gentoo yesterday that had broken years
ago when I ran prelink this time! - it complains about missing
dependencies.  Some files did turn out to be from currently installed
packages (curl, gnuplot, glade, ...) that revdep-rebuild didnt pick up -
a bit of a worry ...

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.
