By orphan I mean files that were installed by a package, but somehow got left behind when the package was uninstalled. /lib/modules/* is the best example I can give at the moment, but no really applicable to revdep-rebuild. In such cases, revdep-rebuild may report broken library links on the orphaned files, but decide not to rebuild anything, since no package owns them. However, you have shown with equery belongs that they are not orphaned. So, what happens if you remerge nas manually? (emerge --oneshot media-libs/nas). -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
