Well, you rebuild world, which includes all packages you would rebuild with revdep-rebuild. I would run revdep-rebuild after the rebuild of world, just to be sure. I also recommend to look through the info outputs of every emerge, if you missed something, e.g. I had messages like "rebuild against the new library, than it is save to delete the old one." If you miss this, then you have cruft libs on your system. Cheers Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
