Hi,
I updated recently libpcre to 8.30-r2 on ~10 system without
problems. Today I updated the last one. As usually, this
message has been printed:

* Messages for package dev-libs/libpcre-8.30-r2:
* Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system.
* In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs,
* the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild
* in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this
* helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
*
*   # revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' &&
  rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

So I run first:
# revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

To my big surprise, none packages have been found:
* There are no dynamic links to /lib64/libpcre.so.0. All done

I was a little suspicious because I remember on all other
systems 2 packages had to be recompiled. So I created copy
of the above mentioned library in homedir, and removed it:
# rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

Then I tried "revdep-rebuild" and got plenty of errors:

grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0:
  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently, grep needs libpcre.so.0. But how is it possible
that "revdep-rebild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'" does not
find any package linked to libpcre.so.0, yet when I remove it,
grep is broken?

Does anybody remember what was the 2nd package linked to
libpcre.so.0, which had to be recompliled after libpcre
upgrade?

Jarry
