Links complains that it can not find libdirectfb-0.9.so.24 (this no longer exists, as it was replaced by libdirectfb-0.9.so.25 in an update). A temporary workaround is to either recompile Links every time libdirectfb etc. are updated or to symlink libdirectfb-0.9.so.24 to libdirectfb-0.9.so.25, and do the same for libdirect and libfusion. This bug also causes the compilation of sdl-net to fail, with the same workarounds as above except for that libsdl must be recompiled instead of Links. steps to reproduce: (1)Install a different version of dev-libs/DirectFB. (2)Try to run Links. emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Sat, 04 Nov 2006 12:30:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="en_GB en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apache2 apm berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr clamav cli cracklib crypt cups directfb dlloader doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread elibc_glibc exif fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gif glut gpm iconv imap input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jabber jpeg kernel_linux libg++ linguas_en linguas_en_GB mailwrapper mbox milter mime mmx mng mozilla mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin opengl pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python readline reflection samba sdl session spl sse sse2 ssl svg svga symlink tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_apm video_cards_ark video_cards_ati video_cards_chips video_cards_cirrus video_cards_cyrix video_cards_dummy video_cards_fbdev video_cards_glint video_cards_i128 video_cards_i740 video_cards_i810 video_cards_imstt video_cards_mga video_cards_neomagic video_cards_nsc video_cards_nv video_cards_rendition video_cards_s3 video_cards_s3virge video_cards_savage video_cards_siliconmotion video_cards_sis video_cards_sisusb video_cards_tdfx video_cards_tga video_cards_trident video_cards_tseng video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga video_cards_via video_cards_vmware video_cards_voodoo xml xorg xpm zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

This is a problem with many packages, and there is no "good" solution. Until there is a "good" solution, you can use revdep-rebuild.
