Just an idea that came from discussing with carpaski : as we install a binary ( or from source, but this case should be 100% already) we scan all "to be installed" libraries/binaries, and check what they "expect" to find ( .so level dependencies ) then check this against our current system. such a check would catch any library-level incomplete installations due to different /mismatching .so versions, without being overly costly to create. I could create a rudimentary version in bash, ( see depreverse for some level of this ) but I don't know how or where to hook such a thing into portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
this sounds like verify-depends in HEAD
FEATURES="verify-rdepend", yes. This is already implemented. :)
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
