I think it is in the documentation tips and tricks section, I think. I think I've seen it. The last time I around I followed a script in a HOWTO using revdep-rebuild, and I ran into a lot of problems during the re-compile: there were about a half dozen packages that wouldn't rebuild. Getting things going again required about two days of masking different versions of different packages (each of which required masking a bunch of dependencies to get compatible versions of everything). -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
