preserved libs. Look into it.
A long time ago, maybe one or two years ago, an occasional package
would suggest that I should run emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild
packages that are linked to obsolete libraries.
This worked very well for a few months, and then those suggestions
suddenly stopped coming.
Since then, emerge @preserved-rebuild (or @preserved-libs) says this:
#emerge @preserved-rebuild
!!! '@preserved-rebuild' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
I get the same error on my x86 and ~amd64 machines, i.e. with either
baselayout-1 or baselayout-2. The man pages for ebuild, emerge,
portage, and make.conf say nothing about 'preserved'.
Anyone have an idea what changed, or what I'm doing wrong?
I thought at first maybe there was nothing to be rebuilt so I ran the
command to see if I get the same thing but I get this:
r...@smoker ~ # emerge @preserved-rebuild
emerge: 'preserved-rebuild' is an empty set
emerge: no targets left after set expansion
r...@smoker ~ #
So, it's not that you don't have anything to rebuild but that portage
doesn't seem to understand what you are telling it to do. Also, I get a
message pretty regular to rebuild packages, usually OOo of course. lol
Maybe the things you have installed doesn't require rebuilding so much?
I have KDE for my desktop and between that and OOo, there is usually
something to be rebuilt.
I got a list of the sets that portage is supposed to recognize, this is
the list. Please pardon the way I got it. I can't recall the correct
way and just made it something I knew didn't exist.
r...@smoker ~ # emerge @preserved
emerge: There are no sets to satisfy 'preserved'. The following sets exist:
downgrade
installed
kde-3.5
live-rebuild
module-rebuild
preserved-rebuild
rebuilt-binaries
security
selected
system
unavailable
world
r...@smoker ~ #
You should have those less the kde-3.5, that one is homemade.

Curious about that unavailable one tho. o_O If it is unavailable, why
have it?
