Re: the guide above.

It says to run 

# revdep-rebuild --library libstdc++.so.5 -- -pv
# revdep-rebuild --library libstdc++.so.5

However, revdep-rebuild only recognizes "-p" when rebuilding (it does
not recognize -pv for pretend) and it will delete the /root/.revdep*
files upon completion of the "-pv" command.  The downside is that
revdep-rebuild will need to search for the matching binaries *twice* if
a user follows the above guide.

Compare the output of:

        # revdep-rebuild --library libstdc++.so.5 -- -pv

        ... <snip> ...
        Total size of downloads: 0 kB
        Build finished correctly. Removing temporary files... ..........
        You can re-run revdep-rebuild to verify that all libraries and binaries
        are fixed. If some inconsistency remains, it can be orphaned file, deep
        dependency, binary package or specially evaluated library.

And...

        # revdep-rebuild --library libstdc++.so.5 -- -p -v

        ... <snip> ...
        Total size of downloads: 0 kB
        Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run 
revdep-rebuild.
