The one revdep-rebuild is trying to access doesn't even exist in portage. For example, I tried your suggestion: # emerge --oneshot --update python Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. # emerge -p python These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2 I'm at 2.3.5-r2, so I trying to figure out why revdep-rebuild is referencing 2.2.3-r5. That is my question. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
