I have a similar recurring problem and simply rebuilding packages does not |
| 27 |
help. In my case it's caused by a package linking to a library which is not in |
| 28 |
DEPEND. (Yes, this has broken policy on how to do these things). The result is |
| 29 |
that the portage dependency tree says the library can be removed, but ldd says |
| 30 |
otherwise. Sometimes you have to put the library in world |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If you run ldd on the php binaries, what do you can with regard to db? |
| 33 |
db is also slotted, what does "eix -e db" say? |
