Emerging sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3 results in 0 bytes libgdbm.so.2.0.0. This breaks anything previously linked against libgdbm.so.2.0.0. "xemacs: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2: file too short" Symlinking (ln -sf libgdbm.so.3.0.0 libgdbm.so.2.0.0) appears, superficially, to fix this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
It also breaks dev-lang/wml and probably a lot of other packages...
It actually helps to reemerge dev-lang/wml in my case, so it uses the new shared lib, but I don't know if thats the case for all app dyn. linking against libgdbm. If it is the case then using revdep-rebuild from app-portage/gentoolkit should do the trick. Jonathan,should you try to remerge xemacs and see if that helps?
Hi! Same problem here, but re-emerging xemacs did not work: emerge xemacs [...] checking for machine/soundcard.h... no checking for sys/soundcard.h... yes checking for audio/audiolib.h... no checking for TTY-related features checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking for ncurses/term.h... no checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking for database support checking for ndbm.h... yes checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm... no Error: Required GNU DBM support cannot be provided. !!!

[...] Ok, so I did: "revdep-rebuild --soname libgdbm.so.2". Result: There are no dynamic links to libgdbm.so.2... All done. But xemacs won't start :-( Regards, Florian Evers
I've experienced the same problem - oddly enough only on 1 of 2 machines... One machine builds only libgdbm.so.3.0.0, and removes 2.0.0, the other creates the mentioned libgdbm.so.2.0.0 with a size of zero. emerge info of the machine that creates the 2.0.0 : Portage 2.0.50-r9 (x86, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-hardened-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-hardened-r3 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Gentoo Base System version 1.5.1 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -mcpu=athlon -mmmx -m3dnow -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -mcpu=athlon -mmmx -m3dnow -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4" DISTDIR="/storage/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/ http://gentoo.inode.at" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/storage/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://localhost/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow acpi apache2 apm berkdb chroot crypt curl erandom exiscan-acl gd gdbm gif gmp gpm hardened hardenedphp imagemagick imap innodb java jpeg ldap libwww maildir mmx mysql nagios-dns nagios-ntp nagios-ping nagios-ssh ncurses nls nptl pam parse-clocks pcre pdflib perl pic pie png python readline samba sasl slang snmp socks5 sse ssl tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype usb vhosts wildlsearch x86 xml xml2 zlib"
Hi, I found a solution that works here.

Sorry, my fault... same problems when emerging xemacs... checking for ncurses/term.h... no checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking for database support checking for ndbm.h... yes checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm... no Error: Required GNU DBM support cannot be provided. !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.15 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 161, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) No idea what to try next... Florian
same problems here. re-emerging gdbm-1.8.3 didn't remove the libgdbm.so.2.0.0, had to delete it manualy.
dropped the -a from the cp in the 1.8.3 ebuild

It seems that the ebuild now copies libgdbm.so.2 if there is any. The problem is, that the message of the ebuild concerning revdep-rebuild wasn't updated, and doesn't inform about the fact, that libgdbm.so.2 can be deleted.
If you are going to add 58350 as a dupe of this bug without actually understanding it, then it should be reopened. xemacs expects dbm_open to actually be in libgdbm not in libgdbm_compat.
