Hi, Gentoo! |

A couple of days ago, I merged firefox-17.0.2 and ran revdep-rebuild -p. |
| 4 |
It said, strangely, that some firefox libraries needed rebuilding. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've just let revdep-rebuild rebuild firefox. I run revdep-rebuild -p |
| 7 |
again, and it's still saying these libraries need rebuilding. This |
| 8 |
isn't good. |

Here's some output from revdep-rebuild -p: |

The problem seems to be the "no version information available". |
| 26 |
revdep-rebuild is now less useful than it should be. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Has anybody else encountered this problem, and what is the best way to |
| 29 |
solve it? |
