Bugzilla Bug 169761

Ok, the last days I have had fun trying to fix what xcb-utils-0.2 did to my
system and one thing I learned was: do not use revdep-rebuild -X in its current
form.
Why?

revdep-rebuild -X finds a lot of files linked against
"libXCBRender-whats-its-name-again" but failed with the comments emerge spits
out when it finds a missing library during linking.
After a lot of playing around I saw that revdep-rebuild DID NOT try to rebuild
ALL packages with broken deps.
After a closer look I found out it ONLY wanted to rebuild the versions not
needing updating, ie. already present versions it tried to rebuild but versions
(and dependencies) that had a update waiting it skipped.

emerge --info as follows.

And the very speaking .revdep-rebuild.* files telling package-versiona and what
and what not to try to rebuild:

I need to see the full output from revdep-rebuild along with all of the
.revdep-rebuild files attached to the case.

I will attach the .revdep-rebuild.* for this one as soon as someone tells me
how to make revdep-rebuild keep its temporary files if it does not find
anything broken.

Run revdep-rebuild --keep-temp in order to keep the files.

.revdep-rebuild.* for the log above (revdep-rebuild -X)

I'm using the log file from the revdep-rebuild -X command,

what does the following command output?

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --nodeps --quiet
=app-text/evince-0.7.2

# EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --nodeps
--quiet =app-text/evince-0.7.2
[ebuild     U ] app-text/evince-0.7.2 [0.6.1-r2]
#

No more, no less.

Try the following revdep-rebuild command:

revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend and let me know if it
works.

If it does not work then please run

bash -x revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend --keep-temp and
attach the output and the .revdep-rebuild files

Created an attachment (id=112922) [details]
revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend

This commands finds the broken file and assigns it to evince, but still do not
want to update the package. Follow shortly with output from the other command.

Tempfiles for the above logfile

I know that this is frustratating, so I apologize for how long that this is
taking.  So far everything is looking correct except that the package is not
ending up in the list to be built.

What does the following return?
emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --emptytree --quiet
=app-text/evince-0.7.2 =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.2

Output per request

It is no problem. I have encountered this bug at least one time before, but
that time I did not understand it as I do now and the report for that one got
closed becouse of a spelling error (I used --package-name (missing s) when I
reported but on the command line I used -X) and emerged the packages by hand
before I had the oppertunity to come with something concrete. This time it is
"only" evince, and that application I can live without for some more time so it
is really no big problem this time.

Patch for revdep-rebuild -X

I found the bug and the attached patch should fix it.  Please let me know the
results of your testing.

That seems to do it. Thanks!
