After app-arch/rpm upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.4.6, newly built /usr/bin/rpm2cpio still links against librpm*-4.2.so, instead of against the new librpm*-4.4.so (it is hence not usable as the 4.2 libs get unmerged after installation of the new package). Re-emerging rpm a second time solved the problem. I unfortunately can't locate more precisely the reason of the failure. ------------------ emerge --info Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/ppc/2004.3, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16-gentoo-r5 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r5 ppc 7447A, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.3, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /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/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://194.117.143.71 http://194.117.143.72 http://194.117.143.69" LANG="fr_FR" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X aac aalib alsa altivec berkdb bitmap-fonts bl cjk cli cpudetection crypt cups dga directfb divx4linux dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdread edl emacs emboss esd fbcon font-server fortran ggi gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 ide ipv6 isdnlog jpeg leim libcaca libwww lzo matroska motif mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt3 qt4 readline reflection sdl session sheep spell spl ssl tcpd tga theora truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xanim xinerama xml2 xmms xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_radeon" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
