Description Armin Mohring 2006-10-07 11:04:07 UTC

If I execute emerge -e system, portage gives the output:
please execute revdep-rebuild now.

Instead of printing this message, portage should execute the command revdep-rebuild itself.

emerge can't call itself (via revdep-rebuild). Proper reverse dependency support isn't trivial and has to encompass quite a bit more than that what revdep-rebuild does.
