In your /etc/make.conf add: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
preserve-libs |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
in the FEATURES section. Then run: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
emerge @preserved-rebuild |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
In addition, you can finish it off with: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
revdep-rebuild -v -- --ask |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
This will rebuild any dependencies that have been affected by whatever other |
| 43 |
package you happened to have installed/updated recently. When you finish |
| 44 |
emerging look into your elog messages, because portage often warns you that |
| 45 |
you need to run either of these two commands and it is advisable to do so |
| 46 |
after you have run 'emerge --depclean --ask'. |
