Hi, Gentoo!

A couple of days ago, I merged firefox-17.0.2 and ran revdep-rebuild -p.
It said, strangely, that some firefox libraries needed rebuilding.

I've just let revdep-rebuild rebuild firefox.  I run revdep-rebuild -p
again, and it's still saying these libraries need rebuilding.  This
isn't good.

Here's some output from revdep-rebuild -p:

  * Checking dynamic linking consistency

  *   /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so -> www-client/firefox

The problem seems to be the "no version information available".
revdep-rebuild is now less useful than it should be.

Has anybody else encountered this problem, and what is the best way to
solve it?


Same problem here, although with V18.0-r1. I have net-libs/xulrunner-2.0.1-r1 on my machine, referring to Jean-Christophe's proposed fix. I'll kill this off with emerge -C and see what happens.
