Hi,
I'm using Gentoo for a couple of years and am quite amazed how good it
works. So thanks to all involved in its develpoment.
However, after today's update, when I run revdep-rebuild, I get the
message
* Checking dynamic linking consistency
* broken /usr/lib64/libogrove.la (requires -lstdc++)
* broken /usr/lib64/libospgrove.la (requires -lstdc++)
* broken /usr/lib64/libostyle.la (requires -lstdc++)
I would expect that revdep-rebuild re-builds the broken libraries, but
instead it only re-builds app-text/openjade.
Hence I can run revdep-rebuild again and again ad nauseam without any
effect.
Another, quite unrelated question: Whenever I run
emerge --update --pretend
I'm warned in advance if a portage update is available. It seems that
emerge is able to warn about critical updates.
On the other hand it happpened several times that *after* an update
I've been told that my system is completely broken and will not
re-boot unless I compile a new kernel. It would be nice if I can be
warned *before* I run emerge without the --pretend option. Then I
could postpone the update to the next weekend, when I have more time.
My propsal is to add a warning similar to that I get when portage
updates are available, so that users know in advance that a particular
update will break the system.
Of course, this mailing list is not the proper place for such
suggestions. Can anybody tell me whom I should ask?
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
