It works if you just pass it a regular expression. it does not work if you try doing it as a full path. Additionally, the argument should be in single quotes to prevent the shell from trying to expand the wildcards. |
FWIW -- One of the examples the man page gives for revdep-rebuild is: To rebuild packages that depend upon libImlib.so and libImlib2.so: revdep-rebuild --library libImlib[2]*.so.* The actual behavior is to run 'revdep-rebuild' for the first library found. I had wanted to run: revdep-rebuild -i -p --library /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/*.so 'revdep-rebuild' ran only for: * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild * Checking reverse dependencies * Packages containing binaries and libraries using /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so * will be emerged.
