But you can remove *specific* directories from checking-- like the ooo directory. I'm just now testing this by adding /usr/lib/openoffice to SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/opt/OpenOffice.org /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.03 /usr/lib/openoffice" in /etc/make.conf and I'm running revdep-rebuild -p to see if OO.o still comes up (I found this directory by doing a locate, but I didn't pay attention when emerging -rc2, so I don't know if it's correct). The whole point of the SEARCH_DIRS_MASK is to mask specific directories, not 'general' giant swathes of the tree, so I'm not quite sure what the issue is, except that the directory to mask has changed (from /opt/OpenOffice.org to /usr/lib/openoffice or wherever). The results from Saturday (I run revdep-rebuild -p as a weekly cron job and get the results mailed to me): All prepared. Starting rebuild... emerge --oneshot -q -p =app-crypt/seahorse-0.7.9 =app-office/abiword-2.2.10 =app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.0_rc2 =dev-perl/gnome2-wnck-0.10 =gnome-extra/libgda-1.0.4 =mail-client/mail-notification-1.1 =x11-misc/devilspie-0.10 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

(/root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order) Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done. OpenOffice.org does not appear, so I'll take that as confirmation that the directory is correct. Give it a try. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
