I think some dependencies are missing in some of the ebuilds. After doing a "emerge --sync", "emerge -avtDNu world" and "emerge --depclean", then a "emerge -avtDNu world" again (to be absolutely certain) I did a revdep-rebuild, and it turned out the following: ================================================================= alexlaptop ~ # revdep-rebuild Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

You have stale orphaned .la files which need to be deleted. Nothing revdep-rebuild could do here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 90744 ***
