Description Robert Persson 2005-04-03 16:17:03 UTC
tuxpaint-0.9.13-r1 wouldn't start because it wanted libdirectfb-0.9.so.20, when the current version is 0.9.so.21.  I got tuxpaint working by making a symlink from libdirectfb-0.9.so.20 to libdirectfb.so.

Don't do this. At best you end with lots of dead symlinks in your system. There's also the chance that Portage or helper scripts do not play well with them. 

Portage isn't capable to resolve reverse dependencies (yet). Use `revdep-rebuild`.
