The idea of revdep-rebuild is to rebuild *exactly* the packages you |
| 20 |
already have, not newer ones. Some people have specific versions of |
| 21 |
things on their systems for a reason when they could be using newer |
| 22 |
ones. The --oneshot is so the packages don't get added to world, in |
| 23 |
case there are random libraries being rebuilt that don't need to |
| 24 |
explicitly be in world. |
