Have you run "lafilefixer --justfixit"? I wonder if you have old .la |
| 10 |
files from packages emerged before portage 2.1.9. |

After running it once, you shouldn't need it anymore since portage |
| 13 |
will auto-fix them upon installation. |

You should run the lafilefixer command before trying revdep-rebuild, |
| 16 |
or else you might have a lot of unnecessary emerges. |

AFAIK the usage of .la files is basically deprecated and only a few |
| 19 |
packages still require them. Flameeyes posted a lot of details about |
| 20 |
it on his blog last year. (http://blog.flameeyes.eu) |
