Description Steven Trogdon 2018-01-29 23:48:41 UTC
Not preserving old libs is relative to the above portage and installed dev-libs/mpfr-3.1.6 which installs libmpfr.so.4.1.6.

  [6]   default/linux/amd64/17.0/no-multilib/prefix/kernel-2.6.16+

with
gcc version 7.2.0 (Gentoo 7.2.0-r1 p1.1)

A recent emerge of the latest sage-9999 from the sage-on-gentoo overlay requires

emerge -1 sage
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U #] dev-libs/mpfr-4.0.0-r1 [3.1.6]

L10N="en -ca -de -es -fr -hu -it -ja -pt -ru -tr" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7
-python3_6"

Presently, mpfr-4.0.0-r1 is package masked.

I do not have 'FEATURES=-preserve-libs' set in make.conf. After unmasking mpfr-4.0.0-r1 the emerge of sage gives

emerge -1p sage

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

After proceeding with the emerge @preserved-rebuild required one rebuild of
sci-libs/fplll which oddly completed. sage-9999 was not actually installed due to a patching error. Everything else was rebuilt during the emerge step.

Upon completing the @preserved-rebuild request I discovered that my gcc was broken. See https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/issues/497 for more elaborate documentation.

To recover I linked to the host (debian) libmpfr (libmpfr.so.4.1.0) and rebuilt the Prefix libmpfr.so.4.1.6 using dev-libs/mpfr-3.1.6. So there was a required rebuild but the old mpfr libs were not preserved which broke gcc. I didn't check before the rebuild of fplll as to whether the old libs were present, but since the rebuild completed I suspect they were. Which may suggest that @preserved-rebuild removed them.
Comment 1 François Bissey 2018-01-30 00:09:21 UTC
There are further issues with this particular upgrade but the main point is that gcc broke because libmpfr.so.3{,.xx} has been removed when it should have been preserved.

My understanding is that by default libraries are preserved in FEATURES so this shouldn't have happened.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2018-01-30 00:37:35 UTC
Possibly a fault of the mpfr-4.0.0-r1 ebuild rather than portage, see bug 642316.
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2018-01-30 00:38:52 UTC
Check if the ebuild that you used had this commit:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=02da1bfffe30537bf7fe7680fc628acc9d6ec289

Yes, the ebuild I used had the commit.

It should, he specified mpfr-4.0.0-r1. And that commit goes from 4.0.0 to 4.0.0-r1. 

My last comment on #642316 was for a different issue where some code will trigger ICE if you upgrade mpfr then mpc but not gcc immediately after that.
Comment 6 Steven Trogdon 2018-02-01 00:04:40 UTC
OK, 2nd attempt. I unmasked mpfr-4.0.0-r1 and installed it. Old mpfr libs are preserved

ls /storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr*

/storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr.so
/storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.4
/storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.4.1.6
/storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.6
/storage/strogdon/gentoo-rap/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.6.0.0

However, gcc is not in my list of rebuilds

emerge -p @preserved-rebuild

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] sci-libs/fplll-5.2.0

I'm now sure if I simply run 

emerge @preserved-rebuild

the old mpfr libs will be deleted and my gcc will be broken. Instead, at this point, I rebuilt gcc and then performed the @preserved-rebuild. This then required a manual emerge of dev-python/fpylll because of 'stale' links to the old mpfr libs. But my gcc seems fine.

prefix-preserve-libs.patch

Hi Zac,

I have been bitten by the same bug, and finally found the root cause is that portage looked into ROOT for consumers of a shared library, which returns nothing on Prefix.  Here is a patch that fixes this long standing bug.

Looks good, except it should use self._dbapi.settings['EROOT'], since portage.const.EPREFIX is not necessarily correct for a cross-prefix configuration which has two independent EPREFIX values.

Agreed.  I have overlooked it, sorry.

    lib/p/util/_dyn_libs/LinkageMapELF.py: get dep graph from EROOT.
    
    On Prefix, the preserve-libs feature should search for shared
    libraries consumers from EROOT instead of ROOT.
