I just encountered a problem recently and wondered whether your work=20 might help it at all. The situation is uninstalling a library that=20 system packages link against. The problem I hit involves=20 sys-apps/shadow[USE=3Daudit] and sys-process/audit, which I just hit on my= =20 own system, breaking /bin/login. It seems like this could become part of the linkage map and thus give=20 the user a warning, if it's not already -- I haven't been following this=20 incredibly closely.

Ick, libtool libraries are the worst. --=20 Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com --/unnNtmY43mpUSKx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkitjhwACgkQXVaO67S1rtsnJwCcD+QB041SMeT0LmWJj8P3F/tK 9m0AniXuB7tGM/7on/LOk4hia0KhDOW4 =MvEP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/unnNtmY43mpUSKx--
