19 I ran into this the other day. It doesn't like the -a or --ask option.
20
21 root@smoker / # revdep-rebuild -i --ask
22
23 Encountered unrecognized option --ask.
24
25 revdep-rebuild no longer automatically passes unrecognized options to
26 portage.
27 Separate emerge-only options from revdep-rebuild options with the -- flag.
28
29 For example, revdep-rebuild -v -- --ask
30
31 See the man page or revdep-rebuild -h for more detail.

35 Looks like it needs a little extra code. The -p option works tho.
