I left an emerge of Qt running at the weekend which downgraded my Xorg

When I came back to the machine I unmerged Xorg which deleted a
load of
libraries that were installed with 7.0, but the system thinks they are
still installed. I need a mechanism to do a sanity check on the
ebuilds
installed and the actual files, so that I can re-emerge ebuilds whose
files have been deleted. Is there anything that does this?
I'm not quite sure I understood it, but I think you're looking for
revdep-rebuild...
from the man page:
revdep-rebuild scans libraries and binaries for missing shared
library dependencies
and fixes them by re-emerging those broken binaries and
shared libraries. It is use‐
ful when an upgraded package breaks other software
packages that are dependent upon
the upgraded package.
