when starting revdep-rebuild from a xterm/konsole window it seems that it runs as expected but with a strange side effect I see the following expected output: revdep-rebuild * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild * Checking reverse dependencies * Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update * will be emerged. * Collecting system binaries and libraries * Generated new 1_files.rr * Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH * Generated new 2_ldpath.rr * Checking dynamic linking consistency [... but during this dynamic linking consistency check something strange happens. revdep-rebuild or someone else starts several thousands of dbus-daemon processes until the system is totally unusable. This happens also with older gentoolkit versions. ps -ef shows then: root 16565 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16600 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16640 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16689 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16725 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16772 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16808 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - root 16854 1 0 23:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 - ... Reproducible: Always My workaround to get a successful revdep-rebuild run is to activate a pkill-cronjob which kills all the dbus-daemons every minute as long as revdep-rebuild is running.

I don't think this has anything to do with revdep-rebuild: it simply runs ldd on every executable - would consolekit have a hook in a library that responds as if the command had actually been run?
I cannot reproduce this at all. What version of sys-app/dbus is installed, which desktop environment are you using, and how are you running revdep-rebuild (i.e sudo revdep-rebuild, or logging in or su to root)?

Maybe freedesktop knows more. The problem is probably only tangentially related to revdep-rebuild.

By which I meant: I can't reproduce it using only `ldd /usr/bin/*', so there must be more to it, and yes, perhaps it's related to running su or sudo.
- versions: KDE: 4.5.3, dbus:1.4.0, bash: 4.1_p9 - kde desktop of a normal user. inside a konsole terminal getting root acces with su and then executing root "revdep-rebuild", so nothing very spcial. - thanx for the sudo-hint! with "sudo revdep-rebuild" everything works fine. - so it happens only with su or from remote with ssh/su and not with sudo.

Which is exactly how I run it with no issues. > - thanx for the sudo-hint! with "sudo revdep-rebuild" everything works fine. Since sudo strips the environment, it has to be something in root's environment that is causing the issue. The only thing that I can think of right now is to su to root and run env and then run sudo env and see if we can find what the difference is that is causing the issue.
