Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-03-17 19:08:19 UTC 
IMHO, /usr is not an ideal pleace for libraries...:

# qpkg -l silc|tail -n5
/usr/share/silc/themes/default.theme
/usr/libsilc.a
/usr/libsilcclient.la
/usr/libsilc.la

# emerge -s silc

what version of portage?
Comment 2 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-03-17 23:09:19 UTC 
sys-apps/portage-2.0.47-r10
Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-18 14:15:13 UTC 
please reemerge and see if it's corrected
Comment 4 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-03-18 19:30:30 UTC 
I was waiting for a new silc-client version to appear... then I realized you probably mean, "reemerge with currently installed portage".

I did so - with the results being the same.
Comment 5 Phil Bordelon (sunflare) 2003-03-18 21:58:21 UTC 
Actually, no.  I meant that those library locations are actually hard-coded into
SILC, in really ugly places that are not easy to fix.  When upstream puts them in a saner location, Gentoo will get it as well, but I don't have the code-fu to fix where they are now, I'm afraid.  I'm going to have to future this bug because of that.  I wish I could help. :/  I'll take the bug under my wing, though, in the hopes that (someday) they'll fix this madness.  If someone else wants to hack on the source, feel free--I already tried that to fix this once, with disastrous results.
Comment 6 Phil Bordelon (sunflare) 2003-04-22 10:24:27 UTC 
Fixed in the latest release.  Marking RESOLVED FIXED.
