How? If the build system of a package uses libtool and insists on the |
| 45 |
existence of this la file, revdep-rebuild wouldn't help. Actually I |
| 46 |
tried to re-emerge failing package with "--oneshot" (not different |
| 47 |
from what revdep-rebuild does) and it failed again due to the missing |
| 48 |
la. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I could, of course, write the la file myself. In the end, it is just a |
| 51 |
text file describing some properties of the liberary. But that seems |
| 52 |
a very hackish work-around. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I don't want to do a revdep-rebuild right now because I have a |
| 55 |
half-baked update. And from my POV, it wouldn't help at all. |
