I updated my postgres from 8.0 to 8.3, which included an update from libpq4 to libpq5. Now whenever I emerge subversion, it *still* is linked against libpq4, although libpq4 is not installed any more in my system. svn: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge subversion 2. svn Actual Results: svn: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: Working svn! joe [~]: ldd `which svn` linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffa63fe000) libsvn_client-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_client-1.so.0 (0x00002aea049a4000) libsvn_wc-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_wc-1.so.0 (0x00002aea04bcd000) libsvn_ra-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra-1.so.0 (0x00002aea04dff000) libsvn_diff-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_diff-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05005000) libsvn_ra_local-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra_local-1.so.0 (0x00002aea0520d000) libsvn_repos-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_repos-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05414000) libsvn_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_fs-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05635000) libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_fs_fs-1.so.0 (0x00002aea0583b000) libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05a57000) libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra_svn-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05c80000) libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0 (0x00002aea05e93000) libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_delta-1.so.0 (0x00002aea060b0000) libsvn_subr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsvn_subr-1.so.0 (0x00002aea062bc000) libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00002aea064ef000) libgdbm.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libgdbm.so.3 (0x00002aea0670b000) libdb-4.5.so => /usr/lib64/libdb-4.5.so (0x00002aea06811000) libpq.so.5 => /usr/lib64/libpq.so.5 (0x00002aea06b2a000) libsqlite.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsqlite.so.0 (0x00002aea06d4a000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002aea06fa4000) libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00002aea070c5000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00002aea07309000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00002aea0750e000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00002aea07717000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002aea0794b000) libneon.so.26 => /usr/lib64/libneon.so.26 (0x00002aea07b67000) libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x00002aea07d87000) libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x00002aea07fd2000) libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00002aea0834a000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aea0867e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002aea08882000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002aea08b04000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aea08c18000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aea04788000) libpq.so.4 => not found joe [~]: joe [~]: ls /usr/lib/libpq* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222K 19.06.2008 14:07:14 /usr/lib/libpq-5.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 19.06.2008 15:01:15 /usr/lib/libpq.a -> libpq-5.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 19.06.2008 14:07:16 /usr/lib/libpq.so -> libpq.so.5.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 19.06.2008 14:07:16 /usr/lib/libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so.5.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127K 19.06.2008 14:07:14 /usr/lib/libpq.so.5.1

This typically sounds like "I forgot to run revdep-rebuild". Please read basic update guides. If revdep-rebuild does not detects breakage, report the problem as such. If application is broken after recomiling it, specify this explicitely.
steps for a clean update system: esync emerge -DaNuv world etc-update elogv # or elogviewer or enotice revdep-rebuild # several times until no more rebuild. All this should be run at least once a month.
Please run revdep-rebuild from the app-portage/gentoolkit package as suggested and reopen this bug report (with more information) if that does not solve the issue.
Oops.
It actually was a dependency of apache2/php5 pulled in by subversion. I ran revdep-rebuild, but the necessary packages were not rebuilt/detected. Emerged them manually and now it works.
if revdep-rebuild did not find the problem, emerge -DaNuv world should have; if not, you could have open a bug against emerge, being unable to reinstall missing deps. If you ran manually emerge, without option -1, you put in your world libs that are dep, what will prevent in the futur, their removal as deps, the day you want to to remove apache and it's useless deps. I think you fixed the actual bug, but the bad way.
