Subject: [gentoo-user] ebuild log suggests to remove old libraries
Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 17:30:56
Message-Id: 4FBA7B2A.8090200@asyr.hopto.org
1 After a recent update of dev-libs/libffi from version 3.0.10 to 3.0.11
2 the ebuild log suggests to run:
3
4 # revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib64/libffi.so.5'
5
6 and once finished running revdep-rebuild, it should be safe to
7 delete the old libraries, like so:
8
9 # rm '/usr/lib64/libffi.so.5'
10
11 However by querying:
12
13 equery b /usr/lib/libffi.so.5
14 * Searching for /usr/lib/libffi.so.5 ...
15 dev-libs/libffi-3.0.11 (/usr/lib64/libffi.so.5)
16
17 we see that /usr/lib64/libffi.so.5 is reported as belonging to
18 dev-libs/libffi-3.0.11. Is that normal?
