You obvously can not emerge system and any package in one command.
DO:

What are you exactly trying to do?... first... emerge -pv world will
tell you all the packages that has a new version on portage... emerge
-pv =net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0_pre-r1 will tell you all the
necesary packages to install mozilla-firefox... but you cann't put
world and mozilla-firefox in the same line... because world will look
for newer versions on portage for all for all the packages that are
installed in your system... and the other one only for firefox...

Alexey,

I do not this. I do 'revdep-rebuild -pv world' only.

Oliver,

'revdep-rebuild -pv' works, thanks! Do I understand well such
command tests overall libs integrity?

Hm, which part of the error message did you not understand? I'm really
curious?

The same error: "emerge: please specify a package class ("world" or "system")
or individual packages, but not both"

'--' is indead '[--]', as '-h' says:

Alexander,

There is one class "world" only in arguments, but the message insists on
there are more arguments.

The reason for your original error is that revdep-rebuild determines
what packages need to be rebuilt and sends that to the emerge command.
By listing world in the command line, you were telling emerge to do
something that it doesn't support, emerge a specific package and world
at the same time.

Yes and no. revdep-rebuild is designed to do two things

1. When called without the --soname option, it will scan your entire
system for shared objects (executables and libraries) for broken dynamic
links. When it finds a shared object with broken dynamic linking, it
determines what package installed the object and rebuilds it. The
theory is that rebuilding the package will fix the problem (It does for
99% of the cases). Two places where it doesn't work is OpenOffice - it
appears to broken when it actually is not and binary packages.

Dynamic linking isn't the only thing that can be broken. I have seen
quite a few reports from people who have upgraded gcc from 3.3 to 3.4
where libraries compiled with 3.3 don't play nicely with stuff compiled
with 3.4. However, since the dynamic linking was not broken,
revdep-rebuild did not detect any problems.

2. When called with the --soname <some library.so>, revdep-rebuild will
scan the entire system looking for shared objects that dynamically link
to the library specified. This can be used to force a rebuild of all
packages that dynamically link to a specific library. This only works
for dynamic linking, it has no way to determine if an object has a
static link to a library.

To summarize, revdep-rebuild only checks dynamic linking of shared
objects.

Paul

revdep-rebuild passes the options you specify to emerge when it calls it
at the end, so your '-pv world' is being passed to emerge along with the
command that revdep-rebuild creates, which has a list of specific packages
to remerge.

try running your revdep-rebuild without the 'world' and it should work.

to save some time, you may want to use '-a' instead of '-p'. the '-a'
option will list the packages like '-p' and ask if you want to emerge
them. this way, if there's anything to emerge, you won't need to run the
revdep-rebuild again.

Andrew, do you understand that in your original message, the command you
used had *two* arguments?

Here it is:

>> The command in subject says:
>>
>> emerge --oneshot --nodeps -pv world =net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0_pre-r1
>> ..........

You are here using two class/package arguments; "world" and
"=net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0_pre-r1"

Emerge does not take this, which is what it told you in fairly clear
language.

The correct command would be *either* 'emerge --oneshot --nodeps -pv
world' (which seems an insane command to me, if emerge will even let you
do it), *or* 'emerge --oneshot --nodeps -pv
=net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0_pre-r1' (which is a command one might
reasonably want to run under certain circumstances).

Then at some point you moved on to revdep-rebuild, which takes no
class/package arguments at all (use either 'revdep-rebuild -p' to see
what it's going to do beforehand or 'revdep-rebuild' to just do it).

Hope this clears up the confusion, as we're talking about multiple
things in this thread, without necessarily specifying which we're
referring to at any given moment, or so it seems to me.

If I understand you correctly, the above is cut from the output of
revdep-rebuild?

I suspect you ran revdep-rebuild as "revdep-rebuild -- -pv world",
where you should have done "revdep-rebuild -- -pv".
