10 I have a weekly system health check cron job that includes revdep-rebuild
11 -pi (hint to Alan: that's the correct way to have revdep-rebuild ignore
12 the results of previous runs). It rarely finds anything. There's still
13 the occasional glitch with preserved-libs, but I fons it works
14 ninety-lots % of the time, and it is far better than the "let it break
15 then try to fix it approach" of the days we needed to rely on
16 revdep-rebuild.
