Reading the full output you posted, I suspect I see the problem. # revdep-rebuild -X -p -v should be # revdep-rebuild -X -- -p -v The revdep-rebuild help doesn't say it does anything with a -p arguement to= =20 itself, but it may well do. The -- is a separator between revdep-rebuild=20 arguements, and arguements it passes to emerge. =2D-=20 Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
