16 You were speaking to Leon no me (The OP), but since my output was
17 identical, I'll report too:
18
19 I'm running ~x86 on everything and latest version of gentoolkit (I
20 don't have gentoolkit-dev installed)
21
22 I've emerged lafilefixer (thanks Steve) and ran
23 lafilefixer --justfixit
24
25 Then ran revdep-rebuild again.... it still finds broken binutils so
26 I'm letting it `oneshot' the emerge.
27
28 Was the expectation that running `lafilefixer --justfixit' would stop
29 revdep-rebuild from continuously finding a broken binutils?
30
31 Or was I expected to run lafilefixer --justfixit and then rebuild
32 binutils once more?
33
34 In any case I did the later and now the oneshot has finished and a
35 rerun of revdep-rebuild again finds the same `broken' binutils....
36
37 Apparently no progress has occurred..
