[gentoo-user] system maintenance woes

2006-03-05 Thread Ted Ozolins
After too many -uvD world upgrades without proper maintenance (python
perl) I have created a total mess of this system. revdep lists are
almost as large as emerge -vp system on a fresh install. I'm sure I can
go through the dep mess I've created and eventually straighten things
out. Would emerge -ve world  correct some of the broken dependencies?

TIA

Hi,
I recommend you do revdep-rebuild, it'll be less time consuming than
emerge -e world. Both will result in system without broken
dependencies. 

After you've solved this problem, by doing revdep-rebuild, you can use
my updating policy.
emerge --sync
emerge -uD world
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild

Bye,
