[gentoo-user] @preserved-rebuild

[James]

Hello,


I keep getting this mesaage on one particulary system:

 existing preserved libs:
package: sys-libs/readline-6.0_p3
 *  - /lib64/libreadline.so
 *  - /lib64/libreadline.so.5
 *  - /lib64/libreadline.so.5.2
 *      used by /usr/bin/calgebra (kde-base/kalgebra-4.2.4)


So I've rebuilt kalgegra, readline and revdep-rebuild comes
up clean. I ran 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' numerous times
and still I get this error message.


Ideas on cleaning this up?

It just happens on one system out of a dozen/plus gentoo
boxes I manage......

Read the message to the end: you have to do

   emerge @preserved-rebuild

Rather than rebuilding kalgebra, unmerge it completely then emerge it
again. It might be a problem with the emerge process for that package
not using the latest version for some reason, so it is rebuilding
against the old libs (which therefore remain preserved).

He did, according to the post, he ran it "numerous times".   It seems to
be looping itself which could be a portage bug or something funny about
the package not building correctly with the "new" libs.

Also, try removing /lib64/libreadline.so (not .so.5 or .so.5.2 !) first,
so that kalgebra is forced to link against /usr/lib64/libreadline.so
(which ends up pointing at /lib64/libreadline.so.6).  My guess is that
for some reason the linker is looking in /lib64 before checking
/usr/lib64, and finding the wrong file first.

I had exactly the same problem. I solved it by deleting 
/var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry with no ill effects (since revdep-
rebuild was clean).

OK, I'm in the process of trying all that has been suggested, along with
syncing and rebuilding anything that complains. I'll post an update on the
process, once I have exhausted all these ideas......

I did this as well as the previous suggestions.
I also rebuilt xulrunner, in an attempt to emerge
openoffice 3.1.0-r1, which is the only package
that now needs to rebuild according to

@preserved-rebuild

Well all else is cleaned up except a complaint about openoffice .
 NOW I've lost my KDE-4 tool bar across the bottom of the screen 
( I believe the first app is kde-launcher,
but my kde verbiage could be way off)..... again.


Before  when this happened the fix was to reboot into an older kernel and
run 'kbuildsycoca4' as a user. This fixed the identical problem a few
days ago. This does not work now. 

see 21sep09 thread:
KDE menu missing with new kernel

revdep-rebuild is clean. The system is synced up and only openoffice 3.1
gives building complaints.

My kde environment is 4.2.4 (via sets) and it seems like I fix one problem
and another arises.....


aaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.............


any ideas?

No apparent ill effects. You now have the old, orphaned version of the
library on your system and unknown to portage. Portage deletes these
after emerge @preserved-rebuild has successfully re-emerged packages
depending on it.

OK, so now I just have to root it out manually.....?



I fixed the klauncher (menu) bar problem by just rebuilding
1/2 of the kde-base stuff.......

Yes, qfile will help here

qfile -o $(find /lib* /usr/lib*)

I checked with ldd what was needed and it looked OK. Also, revdep-rebuild will 
report libraries that have no owner as "broken".

# equery f readline

/lib64/libreadline.so.6 -> libreadline.so.6.0
/lib64/libreadline.so.6.0        

/lib64/libreadline.so.5.2 is part of the current package and doesn't need to 
be preserved, which I guess is why you can re-emerge kalgebra forever and the 
preserved registry never gets updated.

qfile -o $(find /lib* /usr/lib*)

bash: /usr/bin/qfile: Argument list too long


Now what? I look at the man page for qfile and tried
all the -m option, but still get the same error?


ideas?

It would be much faster to use

	find /lib* /usr/lib* | qfile -o -f -

instead (see "man qfile").

OK, I used Francesco's little script:

for i in $(find /lib* /usr/lib*) ; do qfile -o $i ; done

It worked like a charm, except there is a huge list?
It overfilled my scroll back, so below is a tiny snippet.
I'm weary  of removing so many files?
rm these files?

revdep-rebuild comes back clean. Check with another tool?
I already synced and updated, do again?

revdep-rebuild checks for binaries built against non-existent
libraries, you are looking for surlpus libraries,so it won't help. You're
already using the correct tool, qfile.

Ignore the .pyo and.pyc files, they are created by ebuilds after
installation, so don't show up in the packages' contents. The .so files
certainly look guilty, but move them somewhere rather than deleting,
then run revdep-rebuild.
