Run revdep-rebuild -i -- -a revdep-rebuild is available in the gentoolkit package.

Acoording to the ebuild of libpcre: * Messages for package dev-libs/libpcre-7.9-r1: * This version of libpcre has stopped installing .la files. This may * cause compilation failures in other packages. To fix this problem, * install dev-util/lafilefixer and run: * lafilefixer --justfixit
It is strange. How lafilefixer can fix files that don't even exist? if you look into the script you can find: for arg in "${@}" do if [[ -d "${arg}" || -f "${arg}" ]] then arglist+=( "${arg}" ) else printf '%s\n' "${arg} is not a valid directory or file, skipping." fi done
> It is strange. How lafilefixer can fix files that don't even exist? lafilefixer fixes existing .la files not to point to non-existing ones. running "lafilefixer --justfixit" solved this problem for me.
