After upgrading from sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3 to sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2 a lot of applications/libraries became unusable. In sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3 contains /lib/libz.so.1 while the new version of zlib doesn't have this: ; ldd /usr/bin/file linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libmagic.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1 (0xb7fd6000) libz.so.1 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7ebf000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fe9000) libz.so.1 => not found revdep-rebuild will try to re-emerge 25 packages on my system. Hopefully it will work. Among the more "important" applications that are broken is: openssh, file, mysql, expect, lynx, apache, php, ghostscript ; emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1,sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/env.d /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache digest distlocks noauto noclean sandbox sfperms usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/var/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 acpi apache2 berkdb bitmap-fonts cdb crypt cups encode f77 fam font-server foomaticdb fortran freetds freetype gd gdbm gif gpm imagemagick imap ipv6 jpeg ldap libg++ libwww maildir mpeg mssql mysql ncurses nls pam pdflib perl php png python readline slang snmp spell spl ssl tcpd tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vhosts xml xml2 xsl zlib"
works fine for me root@uclibc-nemo 0 / # grep libz.so /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2/CONTENTS obj /lib/libz.so.1.2.2 75bdb96c6e19bfd5bdf9176730d65461 1104938873 sym /lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.2 1104938873 sym /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.2 1104938873 sym /usr/lib/libz.so -> /lib/libz.so.1.2.2 1104938873
hm, strange. Anyways, I did this and now everything is ok: ; quickpkg zlib && emerge -k "=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2"
After emerge zlib: # grep libz.so /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/zlib-1.2.2/CONTENTS sym /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.2 1120651469 sym /lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.2 1120651469 obj /lib/libz.so.1.2.2 24bcc506c1214bd2105d31ba51f6f792 1120651469 obj /usr/lib/libz.so 85a4c4ea1d125b4b1ac2b6c61d16fe79 1120651469 # ll /lib/libz.so* /usr/lib/libz.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 6 14:04 /lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 6 14:04 /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57844 Jul 6 14:04 /lib/libz.so.1.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 293 Jul 6 14:04 /usr/lib/libz.so This bug breaks git: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/5678
