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