Lately I get the following when I run revdep-rebuild -p and as you can see, it finds a broken library, but at the end it says that everything is consistent. I would expect it to either not find any broken library when reporting that everything is consistent, or rather rebuild the package to which this library found belongs.

Wrong tool for this job, you need fix_libtool_files.sh *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73435 ***
I don't think that this is a dup of 73435, however, it is most likely not a bug with revdep-rebuild either. Most likely, /usr/lib/libpoppler-cairo.la is an orphaned file. If a file is orphaned, revdep-rebuild will not be able to assign a package to be rebuilt and thus the message that dynamic linking is consistent. Run the following to verify that the file is an orphan: equery belongs /usr/lib/libpoppler-cairo.la If the command doesn't return a package name, then the file is orphaned. If the above command does return a package, then please run the following: revdep-rebuild --keep-temp --pretend Please reopen the bug and attach the output along with the resulting ~/.revdep-rebuild* files.
Ok, you are right: the file is orphaned: home ~ # equery belongs /usr/lib/libpoppler-cairo.la [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libpoppler-cairo.la in *... ] home ~ # ... Then the error must have occured during some autoclean or unmerging operation. I know that i never delete files from such directories by hand.
