[gentoo-user] emerge @preserved-rebuild loop

[Alex Schuster]

Hi there!

Any idea why this happens? It's no problem, I'm just curious.

root@tanja src --> emerge -a @preserved-rebuild

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20071214
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kalgebra-4.3.2

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

[...]

!!! 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-4.3.2)
>>> package: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20091004_rc1

gtklibs-20071214)
Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
root@tanja src --> emerge -a @preserved-rebuild

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20071214
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kalgebra-4.3.2

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

This has been asked, which may indicate there is something strange about 
kalgebra or emerge sometimes confuses itself. My solution was eventually to 
delete /var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry and then revdep-rebuild to 
CYA. :)

emerge -a @preserved-rebuild suggests to rebuild two packages, but 
continues to do so after emerging them.

Okay, I just that, too. No strange rebuild messages any more, emerge output 
looks more tidy now. Whatever :)
