[gentoo-user] reverse dependencies

[kiorky]

 hello i want to know a good tool for reverse dependencies stuff.
for example, gnutls broke my system  yesterday but revdep or equery dont 
took me all impacted packages. But a ldd on the impacted program show me 
my soname (libgnutls.so.*)
so i want to know all packages depending on "/usr/lib/libgnutls.*" for 
example or maybe on all binaries/libraries.given by equery files 
package, a kind of recursively ldd program on other binaries and 
libraries files which returns me "depending on" packages.

What you really want is:

revdep-rebuild -p --library 'libgnutls.*'

BTW, you should have seen something like this, either on the screen or
in the /var/log/portage/elog/ files (assuming you have ELOG setup for
your system!)

                ewarn "You must re-compile all packages that are linked against"
                ewarn "Gnutls-1.2.11 by using revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit:"
                ewarn "# revdep-rebuild --library libgnutls.so.12"

i ve allready done that.

The only way i found to findd that is
find /var/db/pkg -name NEEDED -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l 
'gnutls\.so' | cut -f5,6 -d/

revdep dont recompile all my packages which were impacted.

[gentoo-user] reverse dependencies

[Andrey Vul]

How do I get the reverse dependencies of an ebuild?
I need to know which packages *explicity* depend on gentoo-headers as
I have custom headers which conflict with 2.6.27 mainline.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Is this question now asked once a week? What is also annoying is that
people do no own research before posting to mailing lists. If you had
googled it you would have recognized a few threads _from this list_
discussing this in the not to distant past.
