I'm finding the user-based method very much to my liking so far. It also seems to offer great potential as a means of adapting Gentoo's 'revdep-rebuild' script to LFS systems - this script finds broken dependencies after updates using a combination of 'find' & 'ldd', as far as i can work out. The '-user' option to find makes things very straightforward if the pkgusr method has been employed. > I'm sure others may chime in as this is a frequent topic on this > list.

I prefixed my google-searches with 'site:linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail', which seems to scan the desired domains, & only found stuff that was either unrelated or that i'd already figured out.
