* Rebuild all packages depending on `${target_atom}` | |
Warning: Depending on the package being rebuilt...downloads and rebuild lists could | |
be extraordinarily large. YMMV | |
```emerge $(for pkg in `equery d =${target_atom} | awk '{print $1}'`; do qlist -qIe ${pkg} 2> /dev/null; done )``` | |
- Description: This gets around some issues of packages being stuck with a version conflict, where a new version is pulled | |
in to build/install with existing packages still requiring the old version. Replace '$target_atom' with the package that is stuck. | |
- What's going on here/Why does this work? The sub-command runs a for loop where the input of the for loop pipes the output | |
of `equery` to only output the package name from the command. Each iteration of the loop then checks to see if the package | |
is installed and outputs that package name if so. Why the rebuild doesn't trigger the version conflict issue, is unknown, but works. |
