I recently installed dev-libs/libevent-1.4.14 and was surprised that the library files changed. I spotted it after updating libevent to 1.4.14 since after that chromium started complaining about missing libevent-1.4.so.2 while after the update i had libevent-1.4.so.1 (and i guess it was *.so.2 earlier with the 1.4.13). I made a symlink with "ln -s libevent-1.4.so.1 libevent-1.4.so.2" and all is fine but it may create some more problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update libevent to latest version (1.4.14) 2.Some applications that depend on libevent-1.4.so.2 will fail to start 3. Actual Results: Chromium doesn't start complaining about missing libevent-1.4.so.2 Expected Results: The last digit should not change at all.

From what i see it should be 2.1.3 at the end instead of 1.2.3 :)?? It somehow got changed?
Well, it's perfectly legal to downgrade SONAME... revdep-rebuild or @preserved-rebuild with Portage 2.2 will fix those too. This might cause problems for binary-only applications, though. This is primarily the problem of chromium, upstream needs to rebuild their software and release new version, so assigning to chromium maintainers.
I understand that SONAME change may be perfectly legal but don't you think rebuilding chromium just because of a simple SONAME change is a bit expensive (especially on my crappy Atom)
(In reply to comment #6) > I understand that SONAME change may be perfectly legal but don't you think > rebuilding chromium just because of a simple SONAME change is a bit expensive > (especially on my crappy Atom) > Oh, you are using source version of chromium? That would make this bug plain invalid.
1.4.13 appends 2.1.3 to the .so filename. 1.4.14 appends 1.2.3 to the .so filename. The 1.4.14 ChangeLog says: o Correct all versions in 1.4 branch (ac0d213) So I checked. All of the 1.4 releases have a 2.* soname apart from this one.
So do you propose to close it as invalid?
It's not invalid. But there's something weird happening here and we might want to track it so let's leave it open for now. :) PS: chromium has nothing to do with it.
Fixed in =dev-libs/libevent-1.4.14b.
