Bug 397767 – libkface fails to build due to missing /usr/lib/libattica.so.0

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description J.C. Wren 2012-01-05 15:56:35 UTC]

libkface, kipi-plugins (and possibly libkgeomap) fail to build due to /usr/lib/libattica.so.0 not being present. Creating a symlink for /usr/lib/libattica.so.0.3.0 to /usr/lib/libattica.so.0 resolves the problem.

Just to be sure, I did force an emerge of libattica, and it's not creating the libattica.so.0 symlink.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -qu libkface
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
See attachment

Expected Results:  
Builds correctly :)

# ls -l /usr/lib/libattica*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jan  4 10:38 /usr/lib/libattica.so -> libattica.so.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Jan  4 10:38 /usr/lib/libattica.so.0.3 -> libattica.so.0.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 898428 Jan  4 10:38 /usr/lib/libattica.so.0.3.0
# emerge -qu libkface
  (Builds fails)

Please run revdep-rebuild
If you still have problems afterwards, please re-open this bug.

[Comment 3 J.C. Wren 2012-01-08 15:32:28 UTC]

I did, and revdep-rebuild will not resolve the issue of libattica failing to create /usr/lib/libattica.so.0 in the first place.
