Ok, the last days I have had fun trying to fix what xcb-utils-0.2 did to my system and one thing I learned was: do not use revdep-rebuild -X in its current form. Why? revdep-rebuild -X finds a lot of files linked against "libXCBRender-whats-its-name-again" but failed with the comments emerge spits out when it finds a missing library during linking. After a lot of playing around I saw that revdep-rebuild DID NOT try to rebuild ALL packages with broken deps. After a closer look I found out it ONLY wanted to rebuild the versions not needing updating, ie. already present versions it tried to rebuild but versions (and dependencies) that had a update waiting it skipped. emerge --info as follows.

Run revdep-rebuild --keep-temp in order to keep the files.
Created attachment 112470 [details] .revdep-rebuild.* for the log above (revdep-rebuild -X)
I'm using the log file from the revdep-rebuild -X command, what does the following command output? EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --nodeps --quiet =app-text/evince-0.7.2
# EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --nodeps --quiet =app-text/evince-0.7.2 [ebuild U ] app-text/evince-0.7.2 [0.6.1-r2] # No more, no less.
Try the following revdep-rebuild command: revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend and let me know if it works. If it does not work then please run bash -x revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend --keep-temp and attach the output and the .revdep-rebuild files
Created attachment 112922 [details] revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend This commands finds the broken file and assigns it to evince, but still do not want to update the package. Follow shortly with output from the other command.
Created attachment 112935 [details] bash -x revdep-rebuild --no-ld-path --package-names --pretend --keep-temp
Created attachment 112936 [details] Tempfiles for the above logfile
I know that this is frustratating, so I apologize for how long that this is taking. So far everything is looking correct except that the package is not ending up in the list to be built. What does the following return? emerge --nospinner --pretend --oneshot --emptytree --quiet =app-text/evince-0.7.2 =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.2
Created attachment 113048 [details] Output per request It is no problem. I have encountered this bug at least one time before, but that time I did not understand it as I do now and the report for that one got closed becouse of a spelling error (I used --package-name (missing s) when I reported but on the command line I used -X) and emerged the packages by hand before I had the oppertunity to come with something concrete. This time it is "only" evince, and that application I can live without for some more time so it is really no big problem this time.
Created attachment 113125 [details, diff] Patch for revdep-rebuild -X I found the bug and the attached patch should fix it. Please let me know the results of your testing.
That seems to do it. Thanks!
