Description poletti.marco 2012-10-31 10:58:50 UTC

Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner.

When emerging the package dev-util/valgrind-3.7.0-r4, the following elog messages are displayed:

 * Valgrind will not work if glibc does not have debug symbols.
 * To fix this you can add splitdebug to FEATURES in make.conf
 * and remerge glibc.  See:
 * https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214065
 * https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274771
 * https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388703

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:

if ! has_version 'dev-util/valgrind'; then

I'm not sure this is such a good idea.  I don't see a problem with repeating this message each time you install valgrind.
