[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild question

Greetings,

after the emerge -uDN world of today i proceeded with revdep-rebuild
which found nothing to to. But i noticed, that the emerge recommended to
execute revdep-rebuild --library='libosp.so.*'. Doing this two packages
were found and emerged.

Now, shouldn't these have been found already by the previous revdep-rebuild?

I believe --library rebuilds everything that uses that library, not
broken packages.



To test my theory you can run the command again and see if it finds
the same 2 packages again. :)
