Description Adrian Bassett 2009-04-19 15:10:15 UTC

After upgrading sys-libs/readline to 6.0 from 5.2_p13, app-office/abiword-plugins-2.6.8 was one of many applications that were part of the preserved-rebuild set (sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc30)  that needed to be re-emerged.  However, abiword-plugins failed to rebuild because of a missing /usr/lib64/libpcre.la (i.e. nothing to do with readline as such, AFAIK).

Reproducible: Always




Build log follows as a an attachment.

Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2009-04-19 22:09:52 UTC

Probably invalid (related to recent libpcre ebuild changes).
Try revdep-rebuild first (or today's new package/script lafilefixer).

yes, this is caused by bug 266016. Following Rafał's suggestion should fix it. Please reopen if not.

(In reply to comment #3)

Thanks for the reply.  revdep-rebuild was the answer:  abiword-plugins and a number of other libpcre-dependent packages were successfully rebuilt.  

I really should have tried revdep-rebuild before filing a bug and not relied only on the preserved-rebuild set feature of recent portage, which doesn't seem to handle deep dependencies well/at all? (or perhaps the situation in #266016 is unusual).

Anyway, thanks again.
