Description Matthew Rothman 2005-04-08 04:19:10 UTC
When I try to use revdep-rebuild, when I have the latest ~arch version of findutils (sys-apps/findutils-4.2.20) installed, revdep-rebuild says aborted on the first step (Collecting system binaries and libraries...) doesn't find anything, and reports success.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the ~arch version of findutils (4.2.20)
2. run revdep-rebuild
3.

Actual Results:  
Revdep-rebuild says aborted on the first step (Collecting system binaries and libraries...) doesn't find 
anything, and reports success.

Expected Results:  
Revdep-rebuild find the broken packages and remerges them

I fixed the problem by downgrading to the +arch version of findutils, revdep-rebuild now works as 
expected.

I can't duplicate this on my system that has findutils-4.2.20 installed.  Can you re-emerge findutils-4.2.20 and post output from running revdep-rebuild?
Comment 2 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-31 20:50:13 UTC
Since this works fine on my systems with findutils-4.2.20 installed, I'm going
to need the requested info before I can do anything to try to fix the problem.
