A couple of days ago, I merged firefox-17.0.2 and ran revdep-rebuild -p. It said, strangely, that some firefox libraries needed rebuilding. I've just let revdep-rebuild rebuild firefox. I run revdep-rebuild -p again, and it's still saying these libraries need rebuilding. This isn't good. Here's some output from revdep-rebuild -p: * Checking dynamic linking consistency [ 100% ] * broken /usr/lib64/firefox/libxpcom.so (no version information available) * broken /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container (no version information available) * broken /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/bin/xpcshell (no version information available) * broken /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so (no version information available) * Generated new 3_broken.rr * Assigning files to packages * /usr/lib64/firefox/libxpcom.so -> www-client/firefox * /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container -> www-client/firefox * /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/bin/xpcshell -> www-client/firefox * /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so -> www-client/firefox The problem seems to be the "no version information available". revdep-rebuild is now less useful than it should be. Has anybody else encountered this problem, and what is the best way to solve it? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
