Well, i think i've figured it out. net-libs/liblockfile-1.0.3-r1 is a dependency of mailx. When that package is merged, the /usr/lib64 symlink gets replaced with some file, which file calls a "current ar archive", and since that symlink gets replaced with that file, /usr/lib64/liblockfile.so.1.0 /usr/lib64/liblockfile.so -> liblockfile.so.1.0 either don't get created or are merged into that strange /usr/lib64 file that gets created from the ebuild or whatever. Here is the output of merging liblockfile-1.0.3-r1: >>> Completed installing liblockfile-1.03-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/liblockfile-1.03-r1/image/ >>> Merging net-libs/liblockfile-1.03-r1 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/dotlockfile --- /usr/include/ >>> /usr/include/lockfile.h >>> /usr/include/maillock.h --- /usr/lib/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/dotlockfile.1.gz --- /usr/share/man/man3/ >>> /usr/share/man/man3/maillock.3.gz >>> /usr/share/man/man3/lockfile_create.3.gz >>> /usr/lib64 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] >>> net-libs/liblockfile-1.03-r1 merged. After that, I have to unmerge liblockfile-1.03-r1, rm the /usr/lib64 file, and re-create the symlink to /usr/lib64 --> /usr/lib. If I unmask liblockfile-1.03-r2, and emerge it, all is well it seems : >>> Merging net-libs/liblockfile-1.03-r2 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/dotlockfile --- /usr/include/ >>> /usr/include/lockfile.h >>> /usr/include/maillock.h --- /usr/lib64/ >>> /usr/lib64/liblockfile.so.1.0 >>> /usr/lib64/liblockfile.so -> liblockfile.so.1.0 --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/dotlockfile.1.gz --- /usr/share/man/man3/ >>> /usr/share/man/man3/maillock.3.gz >>> /usr/share/man/man3/lockfile_create.3.gz >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] >>> net-libs/liblockfile-1.03-r2 merged. and mailx compiles and installs and works fine. I didn't install liblockfile-1.03-r1 in the first place because I am running a mostly stable system, and since it was only a dep of mailx, I just let it install the stable 1.03-r1 that portage wanted to install. I guess you could mark this as fixed, but I seem to have introduced another but. I've been talking about it at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82304 because I was following a different bug as liblockfile-1.03-r1 seemed to render my system unusable because of overwriting the /usr/lib64 symlink. Should I open up a new bug? or wait to see what happens at bug 82304?
Aaron, thanks a lot for pointing that out. could you open a new bug and set the severity to blocker? this is really a critical bug. please also CC amd64@gentoo.org tia
ok, forget my last comment: KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha hppa ia64 -amd64 ~mips ppc64" it's already "fixed"
grml, forget RESOLVED FIXED
