Used portage-2.2_rc1 to upgrade qt-4.3.4 to qt-4.4.0 (I know, it's masked). I have FEATURES="preserve-libs". Portage reports that !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: x11-libs/qt-4.4.0 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQt3Support.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDBus.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDesigner.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDesignerComponents.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtGui.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtNetwork.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtScript.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSql.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSvg.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtTest.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtXml.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQt3Support.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDBus.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDesigner.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDesignerComponents.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtGui.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtNetwork.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtScript.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSql.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSvg.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtTest.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtXml.so.4.3.4 which should not be happening, because the sonames only changed from *.so.4.3.4 to *.so.4.4.0, and should be ABI-compatible. Well, it gets worse. I try to do emerge -pv @preserved-rebuild I get a bunch of packages (including *all* the parts of qt-4.4.0, for some reason). But rerging those packages does not remove them from the @preserved-rebuild list! In other words, for example, (among other packages) x11-libs-qt-core-4.4.0 and dev-util/qgit-2.1 are in the @preserved-rebuild list, but after rebuilding them, they are still in the @preserved-rebuild list. I wonder, is there some way to manually edit the @preserved-rebuild list to prevent portage from going crazy... # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc1 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.1, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r6-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_M_processor_1.60GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:36:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r3 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3, 2.17-r2, 2.18-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -frename-registers" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/NX/etc /usr/NX/home /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -frename-registers" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks parallel-fetch preserve-libs sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="C en POSIX ru" MAKEOPTS="-j2"
Same problem here, the list got shorter after I remerged some packages (for other reasons). Now I have: * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDBus.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtNetwork.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSql.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtXml.so.4.3 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtDBus.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtNetwork.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtSql.so.4.3.4 * - /usr/lib/qt4/libQtXml.so.4.3.4 revdep-rebuild --library=/usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4.3.4 doesn't report any problems so I'm left wondering what's wrong. I also did an emerge @preserved-rebuild but, as you can see, it didn't completely fix the problem.
Does it work now with the update to qt-4.4.1? There were still a few packages in the tree that had not been updated to split qt.
I think this was fixed with revision 11200 which was release in 2.2_rc2: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/portage?view=rev&rev=11200 Please reopen if the problem persists.
