When I do emerge -C of a package that have shared libraries needed by someone, those libraries are kept. If I emerge back the same package those libraries are substituted without any error. On many of dev-ada/* packages there are symlink on the /usr/lib directory that point to the true file that is in a subdirectory. During removal of the package both symlink and true file are kept, but emerging back the package portage warns (or error out) saying that the symlinks are not owned by anyone
Please attach a copy of /var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry from immediately after the package is unmerged.
Created attachment 512022 [details] preserved_libs_registry I did a cat of the file just before the end of the unmerging and I got { "dev-ada/xmlada:0": [ "dev-ada/xmlada-2017", "7001", [ "/usr/lib/libxmlada_dom.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/xmlada/xmlada_dom.relocatable/libxmlada_dom.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/libxmlada_input_sources.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/xmlada/xmlada_sax.relocatable/libxmlada_sax.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/libxmlada_sax.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/xmlada/xmlada_schema.relocatable/libxmlada_schema.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/libxmlada_unicode.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/libxmlada_schema.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/xmlada/xmlada_input.relocatable/libxmlada_input_sources.so.18.0w", "/usr/lib/xmlada/xmlada_unicode.relocatable/libxmlada_unicode.so.18.0w" ] ] } The attached file is instead the final one
This code from bug 406837 removes the symlinks from the preserved_libs_registry: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=32d19be14e22ada479963ba8627452f5f2d89b94

This patch fix my problem. Thanks

The previous code only worked correctly for symlinks pointing to files in the same directory, which failed for packages like dev-ada/xmlada which have symlinks that point into a subdirectory.
