Description Bas van Dijk 2005-05-08 09:36:57 UTC

I unmerged "libungif" because it wasn't needed anymore according to "emerge --depclean".

But when I start emacs I get:

emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libungif.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So apparently it is a dependency of something.
But esearch doesn't show it:

Also when I "emerge emacs-cvs --deep", portage only wants to reemerge emacs. No mentioning of libungif.

So what's the problem? A broken ebuild perhaps?

emacs-cvs depends on giflib (which is going to replace libungif soon - see Bug 85720). No need to depend on libungif. Just re-emerge emacs-cvs and it will be fine with giflib.

I reemerged emacs-cvs and now it works again. Thanks Jakub!
