It is not mandatory: You could as well re-emerge the affected packages (shown by revdep-rebuild) which is a much cleaner solution, since it does not break the portage database like lafilefixer does. (Yes, I know that this might involve manual fixing the order shown by revdep-rebuild or emerging packages twice or packages not listed, but it *is* possible to do it cleanly). > And I think we're doing something similar with gcc (fix_libtool_files.sh > seems to run automatically on gcc upgrade). Yes, this is terrible: I actually considered filing a bug about it, requesting to make it at least only optional. Please: When you run tools which break checksums/dates of the database, give the user the possibility to decide whether he really wants this. For instance, USE=3D"+lafilefixer" might be such an option. Martin --8323584-2013219863-1263751062=:25920--
