Upgrading to media-libs/flac-1.1.2 causes the following error when trying to start amaroK amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge flac -u 2. amarok 3. Re-emerging amarok after flac-1.1.2 does not help, but downgrading flac after that makes amarok fail complaining it cannot find libFLAC.so.7. I needed to re-emerge amarok after emerging flac-1.1.1 for it to work again. Does this indicate flac needs to be slotted?

well - in fact amarok wants libFLAC.so.6. making symlink libFLAC.so.6 -> libFLAC.so.7 fixed that problem. however it should be do automatically by portage - either create symlink as above or patching amarok to look for libFLAC.so.7 if flac 1.1.2 is installed
I'm pretty sure amarok breaks because it is linked to tunepimp, and tunepimp is linked to flac. I ran into this problem and recompiling tunepimp fixed amarok.
confirming. recompiltion of tunepimp fixes that problem
->close
