11 But it's Gentoo's script, right? How about just adding the command you
12 posted to lafilefixer?

14 Some people are used to think of Gentoo as the distro where things break
15 once a week. I don't think that, but I can easily imagine how having to
16 run a different command on each upgrade is frustrating people.

18 On the other hand, when we can ensure that emerge -uDNa world,
19 revdep-rebuild, dispatch-conf and lafilefixer result in a working system
20 without additional work, that makes updates more predictable.
