Bug 245223 – sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.2: ld cannot find -lblkid during emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Will de Beaumont 2008-11-02 01:58:49 UTC]

Following instructions found in bug #234907, I masked and unmerged sys-libs/com_err and sys-libs/ss in order to resolve the blockage and upgrade e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs. It seemed to have worked, until I ran revdep-rebuild, and got this error when it tried to re-emerge e2fsprogs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge e2fsprogs
Actual Results:  
emerge failed. (see below for the error)

Expected Results:  
e2fsprogs should have been reinstalled.

The error message in context:
        LD e2fsck
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lblkid

OK, I fixed it on my system by re-emerging e2fsprogs-libs. I'm not sure why this didn't work when I did it before. Here's an annotated excerpt from my .bash_history:

emerge --sync
emerge -puD system |tee 20081101.pudsystem
[this is where I found the blockage and looked up the solution on bugzilla]
emerge --fetchonly sys-libs/ss sys-libs/com_err sys-fs/e2fsprogs sys-libs/e2fspr
ogs-libs
vim /etc/portage/package.mask
[added sys-libs/ss and sys-libs/com_err]
emerge -av --oneshot e2fsprogs
[maybe I said "no" to this one, I don't remember]
emerge -C sys-libs/ss
emerge -C sys-libs/com_err
emerge --oneshot --nodeps e2fsprogs-libs
emerge --oneshot --nodeps e2fsprogs
dispatch-conf 
emerge -puD system |tee 20081101-2.pudsystem
emerge -uD system
dispatch-conf
emerge -puD world |tee 20081101.pudworld
[upgrading the world went OK, until...]
revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend
[e2fsprogs was among the packages to rebuild, but not e2fsprogs-libs]
revdep-rebuild
[this is when I first saw the error in this bug; later I used emerge directly with the same result]

what e2fsprogs do you have installed exactly ?  also attach the file listings for each package.
