The change from libmad-0.15.1b-r4 to libmad-0.15.1b-r5 causes kdelibs-3.5.9-r2 to fail to build, with the messages: /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libmad.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libmad.la' is not a valid libtool archive This is because the newer ebuild for libmad intentionally deletes all .la files before installing (this being the only difference between the two ebuilds). Reproducible: Always

He posted information about it on his own blog - but doesn't cite libmad (making searching for it a bit of a problem). He may have some good points, but fails to actually let anyone know unless you're already following his blog and can read between the lines. UNFORTUNATELY revdep-rebuild does NOT fix this. It probably should, but that's for another bug. Other people (specifically Diego) have tried to offer this "solution" - but have obviously never tested it themselves. How to work around it? Re-emerge arts. That "fixes" the libmad issues (since it's from arts that the .la is being pulled in.
