It needs to be rebuilt each time libffi changes soname >>> package: dev-libs/libffi-3.3_rc0 * - /usr/lib64/libffi.so.6 * - /usr/lib64/libffi.so.6.0.4 * used by /opt/dropbox/_cffi_backend.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so (net-misc/dropbox-58.3.88-r1) * used by /opt/dropbox/_ctypes.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so (net-misc/dropbox-58.3.88-r1)
But it's a binary blob right? It cannot be "rebuilt" so it really needs to hard-depend on a version of libffi that provides .so.6
It seems it is enough to unmerge dropbox, that will allow the old lib to be removed and, then, simply re-emerging dropbox looks to work fine :/ I have seen that issue with other precompiled software... but I don't remember how to handle it
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #2) > It seems it is enough to unmerge dropbox, that will allow the old lib to be > removed and, then, simply re-emerging dropbox looks to work fine :/ Actually this operation leaves dropbox libraries without a dependency: $ ldd /opt/dropbox/_cffi_backend.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcc4502000) libffi.so.6 => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fce3de2e000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fce3dc5f000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fce3e0f9000) where libffi.so.6 is removed in src_prepare() until version dropbox-58.3.88-r1. As dev-libs/libffi-3.3-rc0 is stable now it would be better to stabilize also latest dropbox ebuild version in portage
