Well all we really need is the same utility to work across platforms, |
| 9 |
different platforms could have different implementations for certain |
| 10 |
functions. This has to be so if we are every going to have reasonable |
| 11 |
performance. |

But FreeBSD must have an equivalent function for it's dynamic linker to |
| 14 |
"ldconfig -p", if not some code could be written up to do it. |

Had a quick look at Bug 63643. From what I can see that is a different |
| 20 |
problem then what revdep-rebuild solves (missing shared libraries), as |
| 21 |
you said. I think it can be best described as changing API between minor |
| 22 |
revisions of libraries. Will think a bit more. |
