[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild looking for non-existant dev-libs/poppler

[Walter Dnes]

  I'm doing "revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7".  It finds broken
packages,  It gets to the point of...
=========================================
 * Generated new 4_raw.rr and 4_owners.rr
 * Cleaning list of packages to rebuild
 * Generated new 4_pkgs.rr
 * Assigning packages to ebuilds
 * Generated new 4_ebuilds.rr
 * Evaluating package order
 * Generated new 5_order.rr
 * All prepared. Starting rebuild
emerge --oneshot  app-text/ghostscript-gpl:0
app-text/wv:0
dev-libs/poppler:0
media-gfx/gimp:2
media-gfx/graphviz:0
media-libs/gd:2
media-libs/gegl:0
media-libs/imlib2:0
media-libs/libmng:0
media-libs/libwmf:0
media-video/mplayer:0
x11-libs/openmotif:0
x11-libs/qt:3
..........
Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-libs/poppler:0".
=============================================================

  The obvious first step is "equery depends dev-libs/poppler" ...which
finds absolutely nothing.  No hits from the commands...
grep poppler /etc/portage/package.*
grep poppler /etc/make.conf 

  Not only that, but there doesn't appear to be a dev-libs/poppler in my
portage tree.  Now what?

The old poppler ebuilds (dev-libs/poppler*) were reunited and became
app-text/poppler awhile back. The old poppler ebuilds should not be
referenced anywhere, but apparently they still are on your system
somewhere. Try remerging app-text/poppler manually (using --oneshot, so
it isn't added to world), then running revdep-rebuild again. 

Make sure you have run emerge --sync recently, so that the portage cache
is up to date and any global updates have been applied. You could also
try removing the revdep-rebuild cache files
in /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/, but according to the output you included,
the package atoms are not coming from the cache.

  Thank you very much.  That problem has been taken care of.  I last
updated my backup machine a few weeks ago, which is why it has ancient
stuff on it.  There's a lot of stuff in /var/log/portage/elog to plow
through.  I wonder what other problems I'll discover.
