Bug 310457 – Broken symlink in sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan 2010-03-20 22:52:01 UTC]

After upgrading to zlib 1.2.4, the /lib/libz.so symlink still points to /lib/libz.so.1.2.3:

# ls -l /lib/libz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    13 Oct 10  2008 /lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    13 Mar 21 09:40 /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83764 Mar 21 09:40 /lib/libz.so.1.2.4

As such, packages such as cmake refuse to build.

Not here,

$ ls -l /lib/libz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    13 Mar 20 20:25 /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92472 Mar 20 20:25 /lib/libz.so.1.2.4

$ ls -l /lib64/libz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    13 Mar 20 20:25 /lib64/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92472 Mar 20 20:25 /lib64/libz.so.1.2.4

$ qfile libz.so
sys-libs/zlib (/usr/lib64/libz.so)

There shouldn't be such symlink in /lib* at all.

Sorry, I just remembered: I made this symlink myself as a workaround for bug 290974.  Closing this bug as being invalid.
