After double rebuilding of the complete world I would seriously doubt it |
| 8 |
that any stray dependencies were still around. If there were, it would be |
| 9 |
because of broken ebuilds. That should be reported as bugs and fixed |
| 10 |
instead of relying on revdep-rebuild. |

About revdep-rebuild, that is an ugly kludge that is only there to |
| 13 |
aleviate that portage does not record the metadata needed to know what |
| 14 |
should be rebuilded without having lib files searched. In 99% of the |
| 15 |
cases it is also not needed to use it, and those people advocating its |
| 16 |
use should probably put their attention into fixing portage that it |
| 17 |
records and uses information about what package was used to satisfy what |
| 18 |
dependency. (and to verify the package tree state after each install) |
