Hi, Gentoo!
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?

Hi,
I also had this problem: it was due to the fact I had an old version of
xulrunner installed on my computer.
To address the problem, I only removed xulrunner :
rm -Rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-*
But I think that it would have been better to clean it by using :
emerge -aC xulrunner
Hope it will solve your infinite revdep-rebuild loop,
JC

Same problem here, although with V18.0-r1. I have
net-libs/xulrunner-2.0.1-r1 on my machine, referring to
Jean-Christophe's proposed fix. I'll kill this off with emerge -C and
see what happens.

Just killed off xulrunner and reran revdep-rebuild. This resulted in a
clean run, nothing needed to be rebuilt. Firefox and Thunderbird both
start up with no problems, so that seemed to be the fix.

Yes, indeed it did, thanks. Although I had xulrunner hanging around,
there was no longer an ebuild for it.
