whenever i run revdep-rebuild i notice that it maps many many files to the same package and takes ages for it. we have a tool (qlist) which does a pretty good job on providing all files to a given package. so we should take the following steps: 1. sort the list of broken files alphabetically ( O(n log n) ) 2. start from the top, 2.1 match that file to a package, 2.2 remove that file from the list 2.3 add that package to the rebuild-list 3. get all files belonging to that package 4. remove all matches with these files from the list of broken files 5. if there are files left goto 2 6. else emerge the rebuild-list i hope I'm not totally off the course and that might help Regards Michael Reproducible: Always

Hello Michael, you want to take a look at this:http://svn.xmw.de/gentoo-gaf/de.xmw.m.pandora/usr/local/sbin/revdep-mw.py I've written my own version with the improvements, you mentioned above. best regards, Michael
