Description Kolan Sh. 2011-07-25 08:06:00 UTC

#1: VirtualBox-4.0.12 fails to build with sys-libs/icu-4.8 because it requires libicuuc.so.46. Solved by installing =sys-libs/icu-4.6.1.

#2: VirtualBox-4.0.12 fails to build with USE=-pam when sys-libs/pam not installed. Solved by installing sys-libs/pam. Or need to USE="+pam" in ebuild?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
#1:
1. emerge -1 =dev-libs/icu-4.8
2. emerge =virtualbox-4.0.12

#2:
1. emerge -C sys-libs/pam ; USE=-pam emerge =virtualbox-4.0.12

Actual Results:  
#1: VirtualBox fails to build with message "libicuuc.so.46.so not found"
#2: VirtualBox fails to build with message "pam_appl.h not found"

Expected Results:  
#1: VirtualBox installed
#2: VirtualBox installed

I've removed the pam USE flag again. 

virtualbox definitely compiels with icu-4.8 so the error must be on your side. Did you run "revdep-rebuild" (belongs to the app-portage/gentoolkit package) after upgrading icu from 4.6.x to 4.8.x?

Yes, variant in 3 steps:
1. upgrade dev-libs/icu to 4.8
2. revdep-rebuild
3. upgrade virtualbox
works. Thanks!

So... emerge -uDNa world doesn't work in this situation and procedure must be devided in 3 steps: upgrade *-libs/*(what can be more here?), revdep-rebuild, upgrade other packages.
It is seems I'll have to rewrite shell-scripts to upgrade my hosts.

Thanks again for Your experience!

(I'm not shure which status must be ussigned, RESOLVED: INVALID?)

From my personal experience I'd say run revdep-rebuild after each update. This reduces the amount of problems related to lib-updates quite a bit.

Let's go with FIXED as the report about pam USE flag was a valid one. Thanks for reporting that.
