emerge updates openldap to net-nds/openldap-2.3.35-r1. Compile complains about need for revdep-rebuild. revdep-rebuild reports nothing needs to be done. Do I need to emerge -C some older version?

Just delete the unneeded libraries if nothing uses them any more.
Newbie alert: I don't seem to be able to determine what/how to remove old libs. an emerge -pC openldap only shows 2.3.35-r1, and I don't know what package to clean!
Delete the files that the update complains about. If you have further questions, we have #gentoo on Freenode or forums.gentoo.org; bugzilla is not a support forum and this is not a bug.
