Description Bertram Felgenhauer 2005-02-09 16:52:16 UTC 
In fact, the ebuild removes /usr/lib/libGL*, which also matches the
GLEW library (if installed in /usr/lib) and maybe a few others.

The xorg-x11-6.8.1* ebuilds seem to do the same.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a file /usr/lib/libGLfoo
2. emerge xorg-x11

Actual Results:  
libGLfoo is gone

Expected Results:  
the ebuild should only remove
  /usr/lib/lib{GL,GLU,GLw}.{a,la,so*}
(I think that's all of them)

Hmm, yeah, I think that should only apply to libGL, not GLU, GLw or anything else. I've changed it to reflect that in 6.8.0-r4 and 6.8.1.904. Looks like it's been broken since xfree-4.3.0 and you're the first to notice -- presumably you're testing bug #37687 or similar.
