Most of the time it will for revdep-rebuild but not always. It just depends on whether or not the dev told it to tell us I guess. I have no idea what they are waiting on to stabilize portage 2.2. It gets talked about on -dev sometimes but they always leave it unstable. I guess they are waiting on the sun to come up in the west or something. lol Dale :-) :-)

I guess they are waiting on the sun to come up in the west or something. Did the Earth move for you? It certainly would in such an eventuality! Well, portage 2.2 has been in testing for ages. I been using it for ages too and I'm not sure why it needs more testing since it works fine. I seem to have had better luck with the unstable portage than I have with a stable. :/ The earth is always moving. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Need for revdep-rebuild
Hello list, Just a note to anyone who hasn't already found out the hard way: After upgrading icu today I found that system-config-printer-common wouldn't compile because it couldn't find the right icu library. Revdep-rebuild was required to fix this - so it does still have a use, after all. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter number 5290
