vbp ~ # portageq list_preserved_libs / net-dns/libidn-1.26 /usr/lib64/libidn.so.11.6.9 /usr/lib64/libidn.so.11 After doing: rm -fr /usr/lib64/libidn.so.11.6.9 /usr/lib64/libidn.so.11 && revdep-rebuild I see always the preserved libs. What's wrong? Feel free to ask any other info before close as NEEDINFO

Why would you run revdep-rebuild when portage says it has preserved libs? It's always going to keep telling you that because revdep-rebuild doesn't remove libraries after packages have been linked against their replacements. You need to fix that through emerge and forget about revdep-rebuild if you have FEATURES=preserve-libs. Maybe
Maybe you need to ask dev-portage@ to expand emerge(1) to tell you even better what to do to update the @preserved-rebuild set? I don't know. In that case, you should reassign to Product -> Portage development (and so on).

Maybe I have those library because something is linked against, so if I'm deleting the library, revdep-rebuild should find the broken link and fix that. It does not happen

It > does not happen That's because preserved-rebuild, revdep-rebuild or emerge already rebuild them. Why don't you just stick to `emerge @preserved-rebuild`? With what you're doing now you are manually listing them, manually removing them and running a very slow command; whereas just emerging the set is blazing fast and automatic, and has no room for errors like the one you make now except perhaps a preserved lib staying around maybe.
(In reply to Agostino Sarubbo from comment #4) > I have those library because something is linked against, so if I'm deleting > the library, revdep-rebuild should find the broken link and fix that. It > does not happen No. Portage records at install/merge time that it's keeping these, and it will keep reminding you that it's kept them until you run the command it tells you to run, because it stores this information in the local package database and it only removes it when the task is considered to be completed. revdep-rebuild, manual rebuilds and manual deletions of the preserved libraries have nothing to do with portage's stored list of preserved libraries[1]. [1] And technically, by doing things "manually", you are working around the package manager. Besides this being a bug tracker and not a support forum[2], that is the second reason this bug report is INVALID. [2] http://forums.gentoo.org/
