12 Try
13 emerge -uvp app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs
14
15 to see if there is a newer version available. If so, do
16 emerge -uv app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs
17 to install it.
18
19 You might get cyclic dependencies reported. If they are among binary
20 packages then you can safely force emerging with the --nodeps option.
21
22 I think revdep-rebuild's logic does not apply to binary packages. It assumes
23 that emerging will result in relinking which does not happen for a binary
24 package. You need to get a newer one with the new linking already done.
25
26 Taking the emerge command from revdep-rebuild -p and replacing the
27 = with >= probably will achieve the same end.
