My guess would be that portage cannot assign the broken binaries (/usr/bin/avibench etc) to an ebuild, and therefore there cannot be anything to emerge. They might be orphan binaries from a previous incomplete unmerge, or something locally compiled, or even files installed from a foreign package system (.tgz or .rpm perhaps?) alan > > > gandalf ~ # revdep-rebuild -p > Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild > > Checking reverse dependencies... > > Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update > will be emerged. > > Collecting system binaries and libraries... done. > (/root/.revdep-rebuild.1_files) > > Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH... done. > (/root/.revdep-rebuild.2_ldpath) > > Checking dynamic linking consistency... > broken /usr/bin/avibench (requires libaviplay-0.7.so.0) > broken /usr/bin/avicap (requires libaviplay-0.7.so.0 > libqavm-0.7.so.0) broken /usr/bin/avicat (requires > libaviplay-0.7.so.0) > <SNIP> > broken /usr/lib/transcode/filter_preview.la (requires > /usr/lib/libdv.la) broken /usr/lib/transcode/filter_preview.la > (requires > /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.la) > done. > (/root/.revdep-rebuild.3_rebuild) > > Assigning files to ebuilds... done. > (/root/.revdep-rebuild.4_ebuilds) > > Evaluating package order... done. > (/root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order) > > Dynamic linking on your system is consistent...
