Ok. So embedded tools which rely upon RRDEPEND for runtime dependencies will end up producing incomplete installs? | Clearly c++ templates are beyond the scope of the what RRDEPEND can | provide. I could be wrong but I don't think those c++ templates are | anything revdep-rebuild or verify-rdepends handle any differently. That one's a separate issue, since you don't need C++ template header files installed if you don't ever intend to compile anything on the system in question. I was thinking more along the lines of (non-minimal) vim needing vim-core here. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Supreme Lord Gerbil Wrangler) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
