Gentoo, openssl breakage

   For those of you running Gentoo, due to a eccentricity in GCC (ask
   Hal), anything that was compiled against OpenSSL was specifically
   bound to version 0.9.6. OpenSSL was recently upgraded to 0.9.7c
   breaking all programs that link against it. Here's a tool to help you
   instantly fix this and other dependency problems that may have arisen:
   >From the gentoolkit:
   # revdep-rebuilt
   will automatically search your entire system for binaries that are
   linked against non-existent libraries, discover which ebuild those
   binaries came from and then rebuild each ebuild for you.
   I suspect some other distributions will find themselves in a similar
   situation when they upgrade.
