Bug 240022 – suppress preserved libs entries for symlinks

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Fabian Groffen 2008-10-05 17:49:02 UTC]

Portage currently shows output like so:

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: net-misc/neon-0.26.4
 *  - /Library/Gentoo/usr/lib/libneon.so.27
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/bin/svn (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/bin/svnsync (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/lib/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0 (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)
 *  - /Library/Gentoo/usr/lib/libneon.so.27.1.2
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/bin/svn (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/bin/svnsync (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)
 *      used by /Library/Gentoo/usr/lib/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0 (dev-util/subversion-1.5.2)

This is a bit redundant, since libneon.so.27.1.2 and libneon.so.27 are the same object.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
only show "used by" once for each real file.

I will attach a patch which implements the desired behaviour.
