I'm not quite sure I understood it, but I think you're looking for |
| 15 |
revdep-rebuild... |
| 16 |
from the man page: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
revdep-rebuild scans libraries and binaries for missing shared |
| 19 |
library dependencies |
| 20 |
and fixes them by re-emerging those broken binaries and |
| 21 |
shared libraries. It is use‐ |
| 22 |
ful when an upgraded package breaks other software |
| 23 |
packages that are dependent upon |
| 24 |
the upgraded package. |
