22 I am a little confused here about what happened. After removing
23 python-2.5.4-r3, # revdep-rebuilt -pv --library libpython2.5.so.1.0 did
24 not rebuild dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r2 nor
25 x11-libs/vte-0.17.4-r3. Also running:
26 # for file in `equery files vte`; do if [ -f $file ]; then ldd $file |
27 grep python; fi; done 2>/dev/null
28 # for file in `equery files boost`; do if [ -f $file ]; then ldd $file
29 | grep python; fi; done 2>/dev/null
30 returns nothing about python(I suppose that revdep-rebuild does
31 something like this). Everything seems ok. Am I missing something here?
