Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-12-18 02:35:34 UTC 
Google Chrome is a pre-compiled binary, and there is no way for me to recompile it.

Would it be possible to add a slotted version of the libgcrypt package that would only install libgcrypt.so.11?
Comment 1 Jouni Rinne 2013-12-18 06:08:26 UTC 
Breaks media-sound/spotify, too... Stupid binaries.
Comment 2 Nikos Chantziaras 2013-12-18 16:11:32 UTC 
Add app-emulation/vmware-workstation and app-emulation/vmware-player to the list...
Comment 3 Ted Tanberry 2013-12-18 23:42:57 UTC 
Add sys-power/suspend as well

This is source package (with build failure tracked in bug #494488), not a pre-compiled one.

Does it really break vmware-player? It was my only package that was keeping Portage from removing libgcrypt.so.11 (by means of preserved-rebuild) but as I knew that vmware-player installs the /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libgcrypt.so.11/libgcrypt.so.11 file, I simply removed the package and then re-emerged it. My system libgcrypt.so.11 was removed by Portage and vmware-player simply started using its own bundled copy and it seems to work just fine.

(In reply to Bartosz Brachaczek from comment #6)

On a second thought though, it might make sense to make vmware-{player,workstation} depend on the slotted package providing libgcrypt.so.11 so that it could receive potential security fixes.

But I guess this issue is orthogonal to this bug report, I'm done spamming you guys ;)

after today's google-chrome-31.0.1650.63_p1.ebuild update, emerge still complains.

 * GNU in directory index is up-to-date.

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.6.0
 *  - /usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.11
 *  - /usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.11.8.2
 *      used by /opt/google/chrome/chrome (www-client/google-chrome-31.0.1650.63_p1)



I guess its expected.
