Hi, I updated recently libpcre to 8.30-r2 on ~10 system without problems. Today I updated the last one. As usually, this message has been printed:
* Messages for package dev-libs/libpcre-8.30-r2: * Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system. * In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs, * the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild * in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this * helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package. * * # revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' && rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' So I run first: # revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' To my big surprise, none packages have been found: * There are no dynamic links to /lib64/libpcre.so.0. All done I was a little suspicious because I remember on all other systems 2 packages had to be recompiled. So I created copy of the above mentioned library in homedir, and removed it: # rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' Then I tried "revdep-rebuild" and got plenty of errors: grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Apparently, grep needs libpcre.so.0. But how is it possible that "revdep-rebild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'" does not find any package linked to libpcre.so.0, yet when I remove it, grep is broken? Does anybody remember what was the 2nd package linked to libpcre.so.0, which had to be recompliled after libpcre upgrade?
