   revdep-rebuild doesn't always work?

   I have noticed this before with other packages. Sometimes, after updating some   
   library, I notice that revdep-rebuild says everything is OK, but I still see   
   missing libraries. The current example is that I updated pdflib (to 7.0.2_p8)   
   because of the recent security issues. revdep-rebuild is happy but I cannot   
   start gnuplot (version 4.2.2), because it is missing its pdf library:   
   "ldd /usr/bin/gnuplot" says "libpdf.so.2 => not found". It at least starts   
   (didn't try to actually write to a PDF terminal) if I manually link   
   /usr/lib/libpdf.so.6.0.2 to /usr/lib/libpdf.so.2.   
      
   Am I wrong in thinking revdep-rebuild should discover this itself and offer   
   to re-emerge gnuplot?   
      
   Cheers,   
      Peter.
