If so, do emerge -uv app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs to install it. You might get cyclic dependencies reported. If they are among binary packages then you can safely force emerging with the --nodeps option. I think revdep-rebuild's logic does not apply to binary packages. It assumes that emerging will result in relinking which does not happen for a binary package. You need to get a newer one with the new linking already done. Taking the emerge command from revdep-rebuild -p and replacing the = with >= probably will achieve the same end. Dave F -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
