It have been better to include the full output of `revdep-rebuild -i -vp` either inline or attached as a compressed file... > I've tried to remerge about 10 of them manually and > they ALL fail with this same kind of error: [SNIP] > /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link > i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -Wall -std=c9x > -fno-strict-aliasing -o pangocairo.la -rpath > /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0 -module -avoid-version > -export-symbols-regex initpangocairo pangocairo_la-pangocairomodule.lo > pangocairo_la-pangocairo.lo -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 > -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lcairo grep: /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la: No > such file or directory > /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la: No such file or directory > libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libdirectfb.la' is not a valid libtool archive [SNIP] > I get the revdep-rebuild output - the .la lists a lib that is not longer > there. But why the compile error? pygtk has no directfb USE flag, and I > can't figure out why it would want to grep /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la. [SNIP] Because it links against cairo which is still linked against libdirectfb.la. revdep-rebuild makes no attempt (or fails ;) to figure out in which order the packages should remerged. Cairo, pango and gtk+ are probably on the list from revdep-rebuild and should be remerged first (in that order)... -- Bo Andresen
