Actually revdep-rebuild -X is broken in the current stable version. |

Until I get gentoolkit-0.2.4 stable, your choices are to either run the |
| 28 |
unstable version of gentoolkit (gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre7 right now) or grab |
| 29 |
the patch from bug #169761 |
| 30 |
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=113125> and apply it to your |
| 31 |
version of revdep-rebuild. |
