PdfTk got broken while updating the system with emerge -uDN @world. After the emerge: mfld@home $ pdftk pdftk: error while loading shared libraries: libgcj.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The package only depends on gcc, and requires the libgcj library at runtime: mfld@home $ equery g pdftk * Searching for pdftk ... * dependency graph for app-text/pdftk-2.02 `-- app-text/pdftk-2.02 amd64 `-- sys-devel/gcc-4.9.3 (sys-devel/gcc) amd64 [gcj] [ app-text/pdftk-2.02 stats: packages (2), max depth (1) ] But the version 14 of that library was not more present. Problem solved by emerging manually with emerge -1 pdftk, to force the update of the libgjc reference to the right & latest version.
Could you please change the subject to include "app-text/pdftk" and the actual error message?
The problem reported here is already tracked by the more general issue https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562568, that explains that pdftk actually depends on gcj that has been removed from gcc package.
