Following my annual mass-rebuild with a new toolchain, I have noticed one package failing, dev-libs/libffi-compat:6, libffi.so.6 . A bug report has existed for over a year: https://bugs.gentoo.org/925229. Equery shows net-misc/dropbox as the only consumer on my system. However, a ldd against the dropbox binary shows it is linked against libffi.so.7 : korhal /opt/dropbox # ls|grep libffi libffi.so.7 libffi.so.7.1.0 korhal /opt/dropbox # ldd dropbox|grep libffi libffi.so.7 => /opt/dropbox/./libffi.so.7 (0x00007f3e33800000) I checked all net-misc/dropbox versions from the tree, and all of them link against libffi.so.7, and as a result, the dependency should be changed from dev-libs/libffi-compat:6 to dev-libs/libffi-compat:7. I tested myself by removing the bundled libffi.so.7 and installing dev-libs/libffi-compat:7 and it works as it should. As a bonus, there is no other consumer of dev-libs/libffi-compat:6 in the whole tree, at least on amd64, so it can be potentially masked and/or removed from the tree. I can open a bug report separately for the removal if necessary, which will also close the above bug report I mentioned earlier. korhal /usr/ports/gentoo # grep -r libffi-compat *|grep ebuild|grep -v Manifest dev-java/openjdk-bin/openjdk-bin-8.442_p06.ebuild: arm?
