While updating my system I encountered an emerge failure when eclipse-sdk was reemerged with the branding use-flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: update ant to 1.7.1 and therefor deinstall ant-tasks. Files like icontract.jar are located in /usr/share/ant/lib/ now instead of /usr/share/ant-tasks/lib/. The eclipse-sdk build fails because /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3/work/plugins/org.apache.ant/lib/ant-icontract.jar softlinks to /usr/share/ant-tasks/lib/icontract.jar instead of /usr/share/ant/lib/icontract.jar.

I don't think we ever had an ant-icontract package, we certainly don't have it now, where did you get it from? Looks like your /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-icontract.jar is a broken symlink?
icontract.jar was part of the ant-tasks package as far as i know which got removed.
You are right. /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-icontract.jar is a broken and orphaned symlink. I removed it and I am retrying to emerge eclipse-sdk.
After removing all orphaned symlinks pointing into /usr/share/ant-tasks/lib/ (ant-icontract.jar, ant-jai.jar, ant-netrexx.jar, ant-starteam.jar, ant-stylebook.jar, ant-vaj.jar, ant-weblogic.jar, ant-xslp.jar) the eclipse-sdk build process finished successfully. I wonder why those symlinks weren't removed when unmerging ant-tasks. Is there any tool to scan for orphaned libraries, config files, ... ? I will mark the bug report as invalid if nobody disagrees.

As I recall and confirmed by looking through cvs attic, we started to create these symlinks in a version of ant-tasks that no longer installed icontract and stuff. Perhaps there were some overlay versions I forgot about? > Is there any tool to scan for orphaned > libraries, config files, ... ? Dunno about official one, I think there were some "decruft" scripts in forums/wiki. > I will mark the bug report as invalid if nobody > disagrees. Yeah unless someone else experiences the same thing, it looks like an oddity.
Thank you for your comments.
