* Messages for package dev-libs/nspr-4.7:

 * Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system.
 * In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs,
 * the libraries are not being removed.  You need to run revdep-rebuild
 * in order to remove these old dependencies.  If you do not have this
 * helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
 *
 *   # revdep-rebuild --library libnspr4.so.6
 *   # revdep-rebuild --library libplc4.so.6
 *   # revdep-rebuild --library libplds4.so.6
 *
 * Once you've finished running revdep-rebuild, it should be safe to
 * delete the old libraries.
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

Please add here that the command to delete them is:
rm -i /usr/lib/nspr/*.so.6

This comes from preserve_old_lib_notify() in eutils eclass -> not nspr.
