As a result, these files are removed when their parent package is unmerged because their checksums no longer match the package's CONTENTS file. This isn't an issue if you have upgraded the package and it has overwritten the .la files with new versions, but when they move to a different location, or if you remove the package altogether, that are left lying around.

Still a bit confused with virtual packages... Anyway I am getting out of the woods as this upgrade seems to be working.

-Original Message- From: Neil Bothwick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] As you have determined the files no longer belong to a package, it is quite safe to remove them. This is a small thing but here is the current result from -revdep-rebuild --pretend Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies... [lines deleted] Checking dynamic linking consistency... broken /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/i386/libjsoundalsa.so (requires libasound.so.2) done. (/root/.revdep-rebuild.3_rebuild) [lines deleted...] All prepared. Starting rebuild... emerge --oneshot --pretend =dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r12 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r12 Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild. This happens over and over again. The package blackdown-jdk is not in world and according to equerry depends blackdown-jdk a lot of other packages depend on it. I unmerged it and did an emerge --update --newuse --deep world, followed by an emerge --depclean, and still revdep-rebuild complains about the broken link, reemerges the package with --oneshot option and continues to do that after each revdep-rebuild. The library libasound.so.2 is not on the system. This looks like a bug...and yes it is: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83852 -- Valmor -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
