Description Christopher Head 2008-09-29 06:47:50 UTC
After revdep-rebuild finishes remerging broken packages, it displays this message:

Build finished correctly. Removing temporary files... 
You can re-run revdep-rebuild to verify that all libraries and binaries
are fixed. If some inconsistency remains, it can be orphaned file, deep
dependency, binary package or specially evaluated library.

I think "If some inconsistency remains, it can be orphaned file" could be reworded to be a little less clunky; for example, maybe "If an inconsistency remains, it might be an orphaned file" would be better.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Different approach to the unwieldy phrasing
Comment 2 Christopher Head 2008-12-01 09:51:39 UTC
Might I suggest "packaged installed outside of portage's control" instead of "packages install outside of portage's control"? Otherwise this looks quite nice to me.
