Moreover, you may want to run "emerge -a --depclean", which just might
flush the package(s) with broken links.
I run that manually once in a while, but regularly clean a bunch of other
things with a script I call "cleanup",
- #!/bin/bash
- dispatch-conf
- revdep-rebuild
- lafilefixer --justfixit
- perl-cleaner all
- locale-gen --keep --quiet
You have to be prepared to respond to dispatch-conf, but the others run to
completion by themselves.
