The removal is intentional, the consequences are a bit annoying. Running revdep-rebuild should fix the issue for you. I think this is yours Diego, given that the libmad ebuild doesn't hold any post install notice. A script to fix .la files and vdb would be quite user friendly indeed.
(In reply to comment #1) > The removal is intentional, the consequences are a bit annoying. Running > revdep-rebuild should fix the issue for you. Nope. Tried several times, revdep-rebuild doesn't help, and I wander how it can: if the build process fails, reissuing it seems unlikely to fix the issue. This is happening to me and preventing to complete kde installation. :( any hint? /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=pentium-m -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o libartskde.la -rpath /usr/kde/3.5/lib -L/usr/kde/3.5/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -version-info 3:0:2 artskde.lo kioinputstream_impl.lo kplayobject.lo kplayobjectfactory.lo kartsfloatwatch.lo kartsdispatcher.lo kaudiorecordstream.lo kaudioplaystream.lo kartsserver.lo kdatarequest_impl.lo kaudioconverter.lo kvideowidget.lo kplayobjectcreator.lo kaudiomanagerplay.lo ../../kio/libkio.la -lqtmcop -lsoundserver_idl grep: /usr/lib/libmad.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libmad.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libmad.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[3]: *** [libartskde.la] Error 1
This change also breaks basket-1.0.3.1, but downgrading libmad to -r4 fixes the issue. Diego -- why the change to libmad to delete the .la files? If you can help me understand the issue, maybe I can help with a solution.

If you can > help me understand the issue, maybe I can help with a solution. > Diego made changes to the libmad emerge that forcefully deletes the .la files on his own initiative. He posted information about it on his own blog - but doesn't cite libmad (making searching for it a bit of a problem). He may have some good points, but fails to actually let anyone know unless you're already following his blog and can read between the lines. UNFORTUNATELY revdep-rebuild does NOT fix this. It probably should, but that's for another bug. Other people (specifically Diego) have tried to offer this "solution" - but have obviously never tested it themselves. How to work around it? Re-emerge arts. That "fixes" the libmad issues (since it's from arts that the .la is being pulled in.
