Bug 198671 – gcc symlinks in /usr/lib point to removed version of gcc (4.1.2) and not current one (4.2.2)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 125728
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Bassett 2007-11-10 13:02:38 UTC]

revdep-rebuild included the following output:

41% ]  *   broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.2/libgij.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la)
 *   broken /usr/lib/gcj-4.2.2/libjvm.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la)

Investigation showed that in /usr/lib:

1/ libgcj.la -> /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcj.la

even though gcc-4.2.2 was the only installed gcc on system:

# gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 *

2/ lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la -> /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la

'equery belongs lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la' shows no owner so link is presumably a stray whose deletion should be handled by appropriate ebuild? 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.
