[gentoo-user] Broken binary and revdep-rebuild doesn't find it.

[Nikos Chantziaras]

realnc@gentoo ~ $ ldd /usr/lib64/NX/bin/* | grep "not found"
         libXcomp.so.3 => not found
         libXcompext.so.3 => not found
         libXcompshad.so.3 => not found
         libXcomp.so.3 => not found

So today's update of glibc seems to have broken those binaries. 
However, running revdep-rebuilt doesn't find the breakage:

"* Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done."

Which package owns those files?
Run "equery belongs $file" on each of them to find out. If you don't
have equery, install sys-app/gentoolkit.
If the broken files don't belong to any particular package(s), then
how did they get there to start with?

You might also like to try "emerge --depclean"; I recommend running
that with --pretend first though, and checking the list.

I hope that helps (and that it's not too late). :)

NX uses its own X libs (because NX is really an implementation of X
protocol). Check in your NX/lib/ directory and you should find your
files.

All of them belong to net-misc/nx-3.3.0-r1.

I keep my world file clean and do a depclean on a regular basis.

The package works (it's a dependency of the x2go client).  But the ldd 
(and prelink) errors are still there.
