You may want to add a -p behind that --depclean at first. Just to make sure it doesn't remove something you want to keep. I usually even put a -p on the end of revdep-rebuild just to be safe. Mine always wants to rebuild gcc when it doesn't need it. It's a known "feature". ;-) As for the time it takes, it depends on what all packages have been updated. If it has been a while, then it will take a while to do them all. If there has been a major upgrade to gcc, then it will certainly take a while. Dale :-) :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
