Possible solutions: - update emul-linux packages, - hard-depend on jpeg-7, - make jpeg slotted (probably worst idea). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =jpeg-8 2. Run revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7 3. Run revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7 again to see the same packages being listed.

Here is a copy & paste for the lazy: > * # rm '/usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.7' This is expected message from `preserve_old_lib_notify`. It's telling you the old 64bit libjpeg.so.7 was kept around to avoid breakage. > > Running revdep-rebuild as instructed above gives the following list: > > [ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20091231 > [ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20091231 > [ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20091231 > [ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20091231 These don't use media-libs/jpeg (64bit) but libjpeg.so from emul-linux-x86-baselibs (32bit)
I have the same issue. No matter how many times you run revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7 and rebuild app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20091231 & app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20091231, it doesn't fix it. Several libraries in those packages are linked to libjpeg.so.7. So you can re-emerge those emul packages until you are blue in the face, and nothing changes. Please fix this... Thanks...
