I installed app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java-1.4.2.02 to have openoffice-bin-2.0.0 working with USE="java" enabled on my amd64 system. Now whenever I run "revdep-rebuild -p" I get: principale ~ # revdep-rebuild -p Checking reverse dependencies... Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by any package update, will be recompiled. Collecting system binaries and libraries... done.

[ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java-1.4.2.02 Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild. Of course if I re-emerge the package the problem comes up again Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cat "app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 2. emerge -1 emul-linux-x86-java 3. revdep-rebuild -p Actual Results: The error above regarding linking consistency Expected Results: Installed fine, without linking problems.

As said numerous times, revdep-rebuild sucks with binary packages...
Added RDEPEND on emul-linux-x86-soundlibs which provides libasound.so.2.
