I think the errormessages says it all, but to be clear: --package-name got sent to emerge even tho it should be blocked and used by revdep-rebuild. The behavior is the same if I add '-- -p'. (the .tmp-files were generated from a identical run) *** $ sudo revdep-rebuild --package-name Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

if emerge failed during the build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild or - use -X or --package-names as first argument (trys to rebuild package, not exact ebuild) or - set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask (and remove /home/xake/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again) or - modify the above emerge command and run it manually or - compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first) **** emerge --info Portage 2.1.2_rc4 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r1, 2.6.19-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.8 Last Sync: Sun, 24 Dec 2006 01:30:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.5-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17.50.0.8 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe -O2 -ggdb" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe -O2 -ggdb -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict test userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.csbnet.se/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo" LANG="sv" LC_ALL="sv_SE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-znow -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" LINGUAS="sv" MAKEOPTS="-j5 -s" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/portage /usr/local/overlays/nouveau /usr/portage/local/layman/musicbrainz /usr/portage/local/layman/nxsty /usr/portage/local/layman/gnome-experimental /usr/portage/local/layman/mozilla" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac acpi aiglx alsa alsa_cards_emu10k1 alsa_cards_intel8x0 alsa_pcm_plugins_adpcm alsa_pcm_plugins_alaw alsa_pcm_plugins_asym alsa_pcm_plugins_copy alsa_pcm_plugins_dmix alsa_pcm_plugins_dshare alsa_pcm_plugins_dsnoop alsa_pcm_plugins_empty alsa_pcm_plugins_extplug alsa_pcm_plugins_file alsa_pcm_plugins_hooks alsa_pcm_plugins_iec958 alsa_pcm_plugins_ioplug alsa_pcm_plugins_ladspa alsa_pcm_plugins_lfloat alsa_pcm_plugins_linear alsa_pcm_plugins_meter alsa_pcm_plugins_mulaw alsa_pcm_plugins_multi alsa_pcm_plugins_null alsa_pcm_plugins_plug alsa_pcm_plugins_rate alsa_pcm_plugins_route alsa_pcm_plugins_share alsa_pcm_plugins_shm alsa_pcm_plugins_softvol asf audioscrobbler avahi bash bash-completion beagle berkdb bitmap-fonts branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus debug divx dlloader dmx dpms dri dvd dvdr eds eiglx elibc_glibc emboss encode evolution fam fat ffmpeg firefox flac fortran freetype gd gdbm gif glitz gmp gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal howl-compat iconv icu inotify input_devices_evdev ipv6 irmc isdnlog ithreads java jikes joystick jpeg kernel_linux lcms ldap libg++ libnotify libsexy linguas_sv lm_sensors logrotate mad matroska matrox mikmod mmx mng mono moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mp3 mpeg musepack musicbrainz nautilus ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly ntfs ntp numeric offensive ogg opengl pam pam_console pcre pdf perl pic png ppds pppd print pulseaudio python quicktime readline real reflection reiserfs rtc samba sdl sensord session smp sox spell spf spl sse sse2 ssh ssl startup-notification subtitles svg syslog tcltk tcpd test theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts tth type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU userlocales utf8 video_cards_none video_cards_nouveau video_cards_nvidia vorbis win32codecs wma wmf wv wxwindows xcb xinerama xinetd xml xml2 xorg xosd xprint xulrunner xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS *** [ebuild R ] app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3_pre2
Except that the option is -X or --package-names (note the *s*), read the fine man page.
