Description Bobert Tomte 2007-07-20 09:13:29 UTC

After emerging gcc with the "gcj" use flag, if I run revdep-rebuild it tries to reemerge gcc because the libraries /usr/lib/libgcj.la and /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la are missing. However, re-emering gcc does not solve the problem, and the next revdep-rebuild will try again!

My solution is to manually link those libraries from the directory /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/ where they can be found. Then the problem is solved until the version of gcc changes and I must update my links. I guess emerge should automatically place the links.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gcj" emerge gcc
2. revdep-rebuild

Actual Results:  
revdep-rebuild will reemerge gcc

Expected Results:  
revdep-rebuild should not emerge anything.
