Description Ole Tange 2003-03-17 21:22:00 UTC

It seems tcprobe (from transcode) is dependant on  libMagick.so.5. When 'emerge -U 
imagemagick' removes this file tcprobe stops working. 
 
Can we either protect libMagick.5 from being removed or force a recompile of transcode if 
imagemagick is updated? Breaking tcprobe by upgrading imagemagick without warning seems 
like a bad idea.

Comment 1 Graham Forest 2003-03-18 00:11:13 UTC

I can't try this due to transcode still not compiling right on PPC, so it would be extremely helpful if you could test symlinking /usr/lib/libMagick.so.5 to libMagick-5.5.5-Q16.so.0.0.0, and see if that stops b0rkage. If you're unable, I may be able to find someone to test it, but I don't want to blindly impliment fixes that may just break things in different ways.

Thanks,
Graham

Symlinking seems to work.
