14 I had this same loop last week, and I found this[1] forum thread
15 helpful. Apparently on my and janos666's systems the
16 /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so library was erroneously left behind by a
17 previous depclean. If you dare, first make sure the library is not owned
18 by any current package: `equery b /usr/lib64/libbfd-2.25.1.so`. If it's
19 not, removing the file manually should do the trick.

21 Remember to take precautions though, khayyam suggests binpkg but I just
22 took a copy of that library so I could put it back with a rescue system
23 if binutils broke.
