After I installed 'sci-biology/bamtools-2.2.3', it keeps prompting 'broken /usr/bin/bamtools-2.2.3 (requires libbamtools-utils.so.2.2.0)' and reinstall 'sci-biology/bamtools-2.2.3' over and over again when 'revdep-rebuild'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 'sci-biology/bamtools-2.2.3' by command: $ emerge -av sci-biology/bamtools 2. Run 'revdep-rebuild', it prompts 'broken /usr/bin/bamtools-2.2.3 (requires libbamtools-utils.so.2.2.0)' and tries to reinstall 'sci-biology/bamtools'. 3. After that, when run 'revdep-rebuild' again, the problem is still the same. I checked the discussion of the software on GitHub: https://github.com/pezmaster31/bamtools/pull/55 It seems that this is a bug of its 2.2.3 version. the 'libbamtools-utils.so*' has not been installed correctly after compiling. Maybe some patchs is required, or ebuild file for new version.
Looks 2.3.0 was released just because of that. Just do: cd /usr/portage/sci-biology/bamtools/ cp bamtools-2.2.3.ebuild bamtools-2.3.0.ebuild ebuild bamtools-2.3.0.ebuild digest emerge =sci-biology/bamtools-2.3.0 and see if that helped.
