I just did a routine update on my ~amd64 machine and saw the portage |
| 2 |
warning that libpng14 has been replaced by libpng15, and I should run |
| 3 |
revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib/libpng14.so' and then delete the |
| 4 |
obsolete library. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
That's what I did. I confess I wasn't watching, so I may have missed |
| 7 |
some important errors during the run. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
After that I ran plain revdep-rebuild as I do after every update, and |
| 10 |
saw that two gnome packages failed to rebuild properly because lpng14 |
| 11 |
couldn't be found :/ |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
From painful experience I've learned that good-old libtool files (*.la) |
| 14 |
are the usual suspects, and grep found -lpng14 in about ten .la files |
| 15 |
even after both revdep-rebuilds. Grrr! |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This fixed the problem for me (as similar moves have done in the past): |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
#find /usr/lib64 -name \*.la -exec sed -i s/png14/png15/ '{}' ';' |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I ran revdep-rebuild again and the two broken packages emerged nicely |
| 22 |
this time. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I hope no one else will hit this problem, but at least this is a good |
| 25 |
workaround if you do. |
