Re: [gentoo-user] The war continues.

[Fast Turtle]

Before using revdep-rebuild, you need to do a -pW --clean to see
what's old/obsolete on the system. It can clear lots of cruft after
just six months of updates. Once you see what needs to be cleared, you
can do an -a (ask) before remove. Saves you from the sytem pulling
python and fragging portage. Once you've cleaned the system and
updated things, then a revdep-rebuild shouldn't give you too many
problems but if it does, keep in mind that a clean install doesn't
take that long and you get the opurtunity to ensure that all of your
flags (package u/mask) are all correct.
