Hello, ok i am having issues with dbus and would like to re emerge dbus plus its dependencies and reverse dependencies, it there an emerge command to achieve this or will have to list them manually?

Unless you've already tried it, you should check out revdep-rebuild from app-portage/gentoolkit.
Alternativly you could try qdepends from app-portage/portage-utils, which allows you to do something like this:

Code: Select all

emerge --oneshot $(qdepends -NC <pkg> | cut -f2 -d ':')

This will (hopefully) rebuild whatever is listed in the package's DEPEND.
Use the '-r' switch with qdepends to use RDEPEND instead.

Thanks for reply, have tried revdep-rebuild.

Not looking to rebuild app dbus depends on but all files that have dbus 'as' dependency!
