11 Not exactly the same thing, but the recent spidermonkey bump changed the lib
12 from libjs.so to libmozjs.so. mediatomb kept finding the old libjs on
13 rebuild. I had to uninstall mediatomb to dump the library and reinstall it.

15 There's not much we can do about stuff like that, but it's not an uncommon
16 occurrence. I usually run into a sticky preserved lib or two every couple
17 months.

19 I still think it's much better than the current portage 2.1 behavior which
20 results in a broken mediatomb. I'll take the rare possibility of a symbol
21 collision over a guaranteed broken package any day.
