[gentoo-user] libexpat / qt / kde

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi folks,

after an "emerge ---sync" and during an "emerge --update world", qt-3.3.6 
doesn't compile anymore because it can't find libexpat.so.0. So I did 
an "emerge --oneshot expat" which tells me at the end that I should do 
a "revdep-rebuild --library libexpat.so.0".

That gives me a *huge* list of packages which would be rebuilt. Most of them 
are kde-3.5 stuff. Since I am upgrading from kde-3.5.1 to kde-3.5.2 in the 
same process, I am not interested in rebuilding the old kde-3.5.1 stuff 
because it will be overwritten by kde-3.5.2 anyway.

How can I revdep-rebuild libexpat *without* all that obsolete kde stuff? It 
would save me a *lot* of time.

Uwe

Run revdep-rebuild after the upgrade :-)

Or launch "revdep-rebuild -a", it'll complain about the impossibility of 
interaction (implied by "-a") and the execution within a script, so it 
will exit just after having generated a complete list of packages 
candidates to reemerge and before the emerge itself. The list name is 
something like /root/.revdep-rebuild_5.order

Ciao

Since qt doesn't compile - or rather doesn't link as stated in my original 
mail - that isn't an option. Anyway, I found the offending libraries by now, 
re-emerged them, and my world update is under way.
