libexif-gtk 0.3.5 failed to emerge due to a call to preserve_old_lib or preserve_old_lib_notify in the ebuild. I was trying to emerge gtkam and libexif-gtk was a dependency. I was able to fix this problem by editing the ebuild and commenting out the calls to preserve_old_lib and preserve_old_lib_notify and then doing an ebuild libexif-gtk.0.3.5.ebuild digest and then an emerge --resume. libexif-gtk and then gtkam emerge fine afterwards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not have libexif-gtk installed 2. emerge media-libs/libexif-gtk This was on AMD64 Actual Results: emerge error Expected Results: successful install Portage 2.1.2-r9 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.18-ge ntoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3 800+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 02:00:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms / /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/g entoo/ http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/ge ntoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/di stfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acl acpi alsa amd64 apache2 async authdaemond automount bash-comple tion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 caps cli cracklib crypt cups dlloader dmi dri eds emboss encode exif expat fam ffmpeg fortran gif gimp glitz gnutls gphoto2 gpm g s gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv imlib immqt ipv6 isdnlog java jbig jpeg jpeg2k ke rberos libg++ logrotate lzw lzw-tiff midi mng mozilla moznoxft mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nodrm nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia odbc opengl overlays pam pcre perl pg-hi er png postgres pppd python quicktime quotas readline reflection rle samba scann er sdl session silverxp slp smp snmp spell spl ssl svg swat syslog tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis wmf xml xorg xpm xv zlib" AL SA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens13 70 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb -audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="kodak" ELIBC="glib c" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfon tz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS= "nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGU AS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
me too.
Fixed in 0.3.5-r1.
*** Bug 171645 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reopen, stable version needs to be fixed as well.
Arch teams, mark media-libs/libexif-gtk-0.3.5-r1 stable as 0.3.5 should be punted from tree (broken, bad by design)..
sparc stable.

Stable on ppc.
ia64 stable
Be noted that no amd64 or alpha users can use media-gfx/gtkam to get photos out of camera without this library and old version is _really_ no-go.
Stable on amd64 :)
ChangeLog: Remove KEYWORDS except alpha from this completely broken ebuild so nobody libexif-gtk-0.3.5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha" libexif-gtk-0.3.5-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ia64 ppc sparc x86"
Change from 0.3.5 to -r1 was trivial, and after discussion with wolf32o2 I've moved stable alpha keyword to -r1 to get rid of crap. Fixed.
