Description:   Opened: 2009-11-16 21:35 0000 
After update to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3,
x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.1 system is totally broken. revdep-rebuild dies on
error "/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libGL.la: No such file or directory" because if we
believe http://gentoo-portage.com/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/ChangeLog 

"06 Nov 2009; Doug Goldstein <cardoe@gentoo.org>
+nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3.ebuild:
remove generation of libGL.la since eselect-opengl-1.0.9 and newer no
longer uses it. refactor installation of libraries to fix FreeBSD issues"

Solution is:

emerge dev-util/lafilefixer
lafilefixer --justfixit
revdep-rebuild

Please add this very important information in the section pkg_postinst () file
/ usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3.ebuild

I believe this is INVALID:
such note is already in eselect-opengl-1.1.1-r2.

Why is it acceptable to leave the system broken? Why doesn't eselect-opengl
symlink the .la? Or maybe run lafilefixer itself? Or maybe the opengl ebuilds
should run it?

Maybe that message should be printed by eselect-opengl when it changes the
link? pkg_postinst messages are too easy to miss.. I didn't figure this out
without searching for this bug.

eselect-opengl can not make a symlink to libGL.la because this file does not
exist after installing nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3

To learn what threatens to install nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3 where you need to
say.

------- Comment #5 From Patrick Lauer 2009-11-17 17:27:52 0000 ------- 
The removal of .la files is very much on purpose. And like running
revdep-rebuild for changes in .so versions portage is not aware that things may
be broken.

------- Comment #6 From Fred 2009-11-21 08:56:59 0000 ------- 
What the hell? Plenty of configure scripts are explicitly looking for
/usr/lib64/libGL.la -- including xorg-server!

It's totally irresponsible to leave things in this state.
