While trying to run revdep-rebuild, I got an "Argument list too long" error from fgrep during the "Assigning files to ebuilds" stage. Could the script please be modified to take into account the large size of /var/db/pkg when almost all available ebuilds are installed on a system? Note: From /var/db/pkg: echo */*/CONTENTS > ~/contents produces a 170k file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge almost all ebuild available on a system. 2. Update at least one core package (SSL and postgresql are good ones) 3. Run revdep-rebuild Actual Results: "Assigning files to ebuilds.../usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: /bin/fgrep: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Argument list too long" Expected Results: I don't know, I've never run this script successfully, having only found this script recently.

It worked a loooong time on my system. I have also lots of packages (Kuroo says 2340/19401). But I updated lots of packages during 1-1/2 months, without doing revdep-rebuild... now I also have this error. Here my output: ----------8<---------- # revdep-rebuild -p Checking reverse dependencies... Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by any package update, will be recompiled.

Well, I replaced fgrep -l -f - */*/CONTENTS with fgrep -l -f - [a-m]*/*/CONTENTS fgrep -l -f - [n-z]*/*/CONTENTS in /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild at line 253. It seems to work.
Created attachment 61317 [details, diff] one way of fixing this This should fix things. However, I'm not sure if <(...) will work on all systems, since the bash manpage explains that it's only supported on systems where /dev/fd/# is available. Is this available on all Gentoo systems?
Created attachment 61318 [details, diff] better way of fixing this Previous patch probably still wouldn't work right, thinking about it some more (since I don't have so many packages, I could only test if it didn't break my system where normal revdep-rebuild works). This one should actually work.

Also check out bug 118394: I've submitted a small patch that fixes the problem for my system and it applies cleanly to stable and unstable. Anyone interested in closing this sucker once and for all? ;-)

Doh... I submitted Bug 135371 Which is definately a duplicate. Umm... why is this patch not in gentoolkit yet?
I have also this error (Assigning files to ebuilds.../usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 567: /bin/fgrep: Argument list too long) on my amd64-system (porthole shows 1744 installed packages) for several weeks. On all other non-amd64-systems with partly more installed packages I never had this error.
