both doing emerge -NDauv world and revdep-rebuild and on many different packages (emacs is just one but every package that depends directly or not directly on libdirectfb has the same issue) compilation stops claiming to be unable to find the old version of directfb. A workaround is to manually link the new version to the old one's filename with ln -sf and doing ldconfig ..... but since it is a brutal not right way to solve that I am wandering where is the problem and if can be solved in another way. Usually i solve problems like that using revdep rebuild but this is failing too... so I am clueless.. error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-0.9.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No

While this may be a problem with revdep-rebuild, let's give it a benefit of doubt for now. Start with 'revdep-rebuild -ipv', try emerging first package printed, if it fails, attach build.log.
I had to reemerge libsdl by hand to make it out of troubles for now i still wonder why revdep-rebuild was unable to fix (In reply to comment #1) > While this may be a problem with revdep-rebuild, > let's give it a benefit of doubt for now. > > Start with 'revdep-rebuild -ipv', try emerging first package printed, > if it fails, attach build.log. >
No idea how to reproduce that bug, so there's not much we can do. Closing, feel free to reopen if you hit it again (and then please with a testcase :) )
