because there are slotted packages - and revdep-rebuild would have to |
| 7 |
take the newest version within the same slot. That is a task, that is |
| 8 |
not very simple - well, actually portage (emerge itself) has a major bug |
| 9 |
for slotted packages: |
| 10 |
emerge only noticed updates within the latest slot |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
(so portage will not notice any update to gcc 3.3 if you've got gcc 3.4 |
| 13 |
installed, for example) |

yes, it does because you're lucky and don't have slotted packages in |
| 21 |
that line. |

You have to remove ~/.rev* and then run "revdep-rebuild --package-names" |
| 30 |
again. |
