After emerging recode this morning, fortune gives the following error: fortune: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/librecode.so.0: undefined symbol: program_name Re-emerging fortune resolves the issue. At least two x86 boxen affected so far. =|;-)
emerge --info, please...

You need to reopen the bug, otherwise noone will notice again...
How is this different from needing to rerun revdep-rebuild after library upgrades?
In answer to your question, probably none! However, no notice is given to run that. I do not sit around watching all these updates, and unless there are flags to run revdep-rebuild (as there sometimes are) I don't do it just because I did an emerge.
BTW, I just updated another x86. A Dell PE2650. Same error from fortune. Ran revdep-rebuild and it DID NOT find the lib error. Fortune errored just as before until I re-emerged it.
so if you re-emerge fortune-mod, does it fix fortune ?
Yes, it fixes fortune...
i imagine something else is going on in your system ... recode-3.6-r1 doesnt provide the program_name symbol either
Well, let put it this way. Here's what got emerged the day this started: 1155577893: Started emerge on: Aug 14, 2006 11:51:33 1155577893: *** emerge --update --deep --verbose --ask world 1155577923: >>> emerge (1 of 2) sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.4-r3 to / 1155577923: === (1 of 2) Cleaning (sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.4-r3::/usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/baselayout-1.12.4-r3.ebuild) 1155577923: === (1 of 2) Compiling/Merging (sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.4-r3::/usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/baselayout-1.12.4-r3.eb uild) 1155577945: >>> AUTOCLEAN: sys-apps/baselayout 1155577950: === Unmerging...

I run it every 15 minutes to write a MOTD. Yes, I am a humorist. Once I started receiving errors, I looked at what was emerged and found the above. I am a System Admin and have at LEAST a dozen boxen at work. They ALL exibited the same errors after precisely the same emerge listed above (baselayout & recode). All were fixed with a re-emerge of fortune-mod. SoooOOoOOoOoo, either I have a dozen broken boxes + my three personal ones (Two Netra T120's and an Athlon) or there is a rat in the wood pile somewhere. Maybe it was baselayout, however I seriously doubt it. It doesn't do much in the library arena. ;-) It IS an issue, and you may never find it. However, please do not tell me I have at least 15 broken boxes with strange things happening. I wouldn't have generated this without doing a tad bit of checking on all my boxes. I truely appreciate your help on this. Although this is a very minor issue for any Admin, it just needs attention somewhere. This is the likely place. Sorry to bug you (Please pardon the pun)...
I have had this affect me on multiple machines. Let's just put an einfo in recode to recompile fortune and be done with it. A proper admin should look at all messages using enotice or something so they should see it.
doesn't really matter anymore
