I have finally completed an upgrade of gnome and now that I have done so I have unresolved dependencies with several packages, namely evolution and gnucash. When evolution is emerged it fails to resolve dependencies properly. I have already emerged it 3+ times and the result is always the same, it links in libgailutil.so.17 when I have libgailutil.so.18 on my system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge evolution -or- emerge gnucash Actual Results: Fails to properly resolve libgailutil.so.18 but rather links in libgailutil.so.17 (which does not exist). edavison@ebdhome ~ $ evolution evolution: error while loading shared libraries: libgailutil.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory edavison@ebdhome ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/evolution | grep libgail libgailutil.so.17 => not found libgailutil.so.18 => /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.18 (0xb6ac3000) Expected Results: Proper emerge so that evolution actually runs. edavison@ebdhome ~ $ equery l libgail-gnome [ Searching for package 'libgail-gnome' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] gnome-extra/libgail-gnome-1.20.0 (0) edavison@ebdhome ~ $ ls -al /usr/lib/libgail* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1291 Dec 1 04:27 /usr/lib/libgailutil.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 1 04:28 /usr/lib/libgailutil.so -> libgailutil.so.18.0.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 1 04:28 /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.18 -> libgailutil.so.18.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26240 Dec 1 04:28 /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.18.0.1 $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 i686 Pentium II (Klamath) Timestamp of tree: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:00:01 +0000 distcc[13629] (dcc_set_trace_from_env) ERROR: failed to open logfile /tmp/distcc.log: Permission denied [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.32 dev-lang/python: 2.2.3-r5, 2.3.5-r3, 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.4.3-r4, 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/grass60/etc /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="C" 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 --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/gentopia /usr/portage/local/layman/gentoo-gis /usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dri dvd foomatic fortran gdbm gimpprint gnome gpm gtk iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kerberos krb4 ldap midi mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre pda perl png ppds pppd python readline reflection sasl session spl ssl tcpd tif tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="r128" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS $ genlop -l | grep evolution Mon Dec 3 23:56:22 2007 >>> mail-client/evolution-2.12.1 Wed Dec 5 16:14:45 2007 >>> mail-client/evolution-2.12.1 Thu Dec 6 22:00:27 2007 >>> gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.12.0 Tue Dec 11 17:04:40 2007 >>> mail-client/evolution-2.12.1 $ genlop -l | grep libgail Tue Dec 4 02:14:17 2007 >>> gnome-extra/libgail-gnome-1.20.0 Tue Dec 11 21:08:49 2007 >>> gnome-extra/libgail-gnome-1.20.0

Run revdep-rebuild. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 152386 ***
I did run revdep-rebuild and it did not come up with evolution as something that needed to be rebuild; it did, however, find lots of packages that did not exist in portage and I had to manually upgrade them to get revdep-rebuild to complete properly. Still, at that point the dependency was not completely resolved. Per a forum posting suggestion, I manually emerged gnomecanvas (as a shot in the dark) and it fixed it.
