The utility appears to list all the broken packages and such, then does not rebuild anything at all, and states that linking is consistent. Here is the kind of output I was getting (the goal was to prelink things; I provide that truncated output in order to show that revdep-rebuild didn't do its job). The version is the one found in app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre1. falcon falcon # revdep-rebuild; prelink -a Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

.revdep-rebuild.4_ebuilds and .revdep-rebuild.5_order are both empty.
Also, the output for the command is verbatim from what was already written.

Okay, revdep-rebuild is not finding an installed package for those files. What does the following return? # cd /var/db/pkg # grep "obj /usr/bin/ps " */*/CONTENTS
(In reply to comment #9) > Okay, revdep-rebuild is not finding an installed package for those files. What > does the following return? > > # cd /var/db/pkg > # grep "obj /usr/bin/ps " */*/CONTENTS > Nothing at all.
Okay, revdep-rebuild is working as designed. None of the files that you have listed were installed via portage. So it is impossible to rebuild them. It looks to me like somehow you copied files from /usr/bin to /bin and vice-versa. On my system ps is /bin/ps and not /usr/bin/ps while ffmpeg is /usr/bin/ffmpeg and not /bin/ffmpeg. If you look at revdep-rebuild.1_files, you will see that you have both /bin/ffmpeg and /usr/bin/ffmpeg.
