11 It's not clear what your problem is: what is it which is not working ?
12 If it's only that you're getting messages re running Revdep-rebuild
13 & given that you're a newcomer to Gentoo, the answer is probably simply
14 that R-r is an imperfect tool & more often than not cb ignored.
15 Sometimes the emerge output warns you to run R-r, but when you do
16 -- with '--pretend' -- , it simply wants to remerge the same package !
17 So if nothing is noticeably wrong, just ignore the R-r warnings.
