Description Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-03-31 21:38:51 UTC 
After unmerging control-center, symlinks remain to nonexistent files:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mar 31 21:29 /usr/lib/libcapplet.so
-> libcapplet.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mar 31 21:29 /usr/lib/libcapplet.so.0
-> libcapplet.so.0.0.0
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-04 16:47:04 UTC 
Out of ldconfig man page:

  ldconfig  creates  the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared
  libraries...

It is thus possible that you will have symlinks in /lib and /usr/lib that 
do not belong to a ebuild.

I am marking this as invalid.
Comment 2 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-04-04 16:56:59 UTC 
Last time I checked, the control-center package itself contained the symlinks.
Additionally, any package that adds or removes shared libraries should call
ldconfig* in its postinst.

* or its equivalent.
