Bug 193725 – openldap-2.3.38 installs an unlinkable library, so revdep-rebuild keeps trying to rebuild it

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Ian Abbott 2007-09-25 10:01:51 UTC]

emerging net-nds/openldap-2.3.38 installs the following libraries amongst others:

/usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0 -> liblber-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/liblber.so -> liblber-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap-2.2.so.7  <--- THIS ONE HAS MISSING DEPENDENCY!!!!
/usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 -> libldap-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap.so -> libldap-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap_r-2.2.so.7  <--- THIS ONE HAS MISSING DEPENDENCY!!!!
/usr/lib/libldap_r-2.3.so.0 -> libldap_r-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap_r-2.3.so.0.2.26
/usr/lib/libldap_r.so -> libldap_r-2.3.so.0.2.26

Running 'ldd /usr/lib/libldap-2.2.so.7' or 'ldd /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.2.so.7' reveals that they depend on liblber-2.2.so.7, which is missing. This causes revdep-rebuild to attempt to rebuild openldap every time it is run.

I thought it might be something to do with 'preserve_old_lib' and/or 'preserve_old_lib_notify' in eutils.eclass, so I tried removing /usr/lib/libldap-2.2.so.7 and /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.2.so.7 and any other old versions of libldap and liblber before re-emerging openldap, but they got rebuilt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove old versions of libldap, libldap_r and liblber from /usr/lib (remove versions prior to 2.3).
2. emerge -1 =net-nds/openldap-2.3.38
3. revdep-rebuild -p

Actual Results:  
The emerge installs libldap-2.2.so.7 and libldap_r-2.2.so.7, but does not install liblber-2.2.so.7.

revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild openldap.

Expected Results:  
It should either install liblber-2.2.so.7 or avoid installing libldap-2.2.so.7 and libldap_r-2.2.so.7.

Erm, like - nope, it doesn't install it? You should run revdep-rebuild like told to when upgrading openldap, and then delete the old libs which are left there on purpose so that you don't stay locked out from your box.

[Comment 2 Ian Abbott 2007-09-25 11:34:59 UTC]

I thought I'd deleted all the old versions before re-emerging openldap, but I just tried it again and it worked.  I must have goofed somewhere.

Sorry for the noise.

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-09-25 12:42:50 UTC]

Well, at least it works now :) Thanks for reporting back.
