Hi, I'm using Gentoo for a couple of years and am quite amazed how good it works. So thanks to all involved in its develpoment.
However, after today's update, when I run revdep-rebuild, I get the message * Checking dynamic linking consistency * broken /usr/lib64/libogrove.la (requires -lstdc++) * broken /usr/lib64/libospgrove.la (requires -lstdc++) * broken /usr/lib64/libostyle.la (requires -lstdc++) I would expect that revdep-rebuild re-builds the broken libraries, but instead it only re-builds app-text/openjade. Hence I can run revdep-rebuild again and again ad nauseam without any effect. Another, quite unrelated question: Whenever I run emerge --update --pretend I'm warned in advance if a portage update is available. It seems that emerge is able to warn about critical updates. On the other hand it happpened several times that *after* an update I've been told that my system is completely broken and will not re-boot unless I compile a new kernel. It would be nice if I can be warned *before* I run emerge without the --pretend option. Then I could postpone the update to the next weekend, when I have more time. My propsal is to add a warning similar to that I get when portage updates are available, so that users know in advance that a particular update will break the system. Of course, this mailing list is not the proper place for such suggestions. Can anybody tell me whom I should ask?
