Description Piero Orsoni 2005-05-17 04:57:27 UTC

When unmerging rpm, it deletes libpopt.so which is used by logrotate, for
example. Installing popt package solved the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install logrotate
2.install rpm
3.remove rpm
4.try logrotate

Actual Results:  
error cannot find libpopt.so.0

yeah, we should just tweak rpm to DEPEND on popt and have it use the system
libpopt rather than bundled

It does for the most recent version (rpm-4.2-r1)
What version are you playing with?

Even though I have an AMD64, looking at the ebuilds, I don't think this is  
just an AMD64 issue.  All of the rpm ebuilds delete libpopt*, and it isn't 
limited by keyword.  The AMD64 keyword doesn't come into play with the popt 
ebuild either.
