I have a AMD64 box which I migrated to modular X yesterday. I followed the instructions in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml and the last command is to run revdep-rebuild.
Actually everything went quite well and the system is running, but I do have a weird problem with the results of revdep-rebuild. When I run revdep-rebuild I get the following list of broken dependencies: ---------- Checking dynamic linking consistency... broken /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/libjsoundalsa.so (requires libasound.so.2) broken /usr/bin/xterm (requires libXaw.so.8) broken /usr/kde/3.4//lib64/kde3/kded_mediamanager.so (requires libdbus-1.so.0 libhal-storage.so.0 libhal.so.0) broken /usr/kde/3.4/lib/kde3/kded_mediamanager.so (requires libdbus-1.so.0 libhal-storage.so.0 libhal.so.0) ---------- At the end revdep-rebuild just re-emerges blackdown-jdk. If I re-run revdep-rebuild then the same list of broken dependencies are shown and the same package is re-emerged. So basically running revdep-rebuild does not solve the problem of broken dependencies. How do I solve this?
