Got it. So @preserved-rebuild is meant to be a replacement for |
| 22 |
revdep-rebuild but we aren't sure it's completely ready yet. In that case, |
| 23 |
I think I'm ready to switch. |

BTW, what should I do about this: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# revdep-rebuild -p |
| 28 |
* Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* Checking reverse dependencies |
| 31 |
* Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update |
| 32 |
* will be emerged. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* Collecting system binaries and libraries |
| 35 |
* Found existing 1_files.rr |
| 36 |
* Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| 37 |
* Found existing 2_ldpath.rr. |
| 38 |
* Checking dynamic linking consistency |
| 39 |
* Found existing 3_broken.rr. |
| 40 |
* Assigning files to packages |
| 41 |
* !!! /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0 not owned by any package is |
| 42 |
broken !!! |
| 43 |
* /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0 -> (none) |
| 44 |
* !!! /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.11.2 not owned by any package is |
| 45 |
broken !!! |
| 46 |
* /usr/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.11.2 -> (none) |
| 47 |
* Generated new 4_raw.rr and 4_owners.rr |
| 48 |
* Found some broken files, but none of them were associated with known |
| 49 |
packages |
| 50 |
* Unable to proceed with automatic repairs. |
| 51 |
* The broken files are listed in 4_owners.rr |
