(I think glade 3.6.3 is still in gnone overlay only, but this is a more general note, possibly an unforeseen upstream bug) I've emerged glade 3.6.3, upgrading from glade 3.4.5 and got a strange result - revdep-rebuild claimed that it immediately needed to rebuild it. * broken /usr/lib/glade3/modules/libgladepython.so (requires libgladeui-1.so.7) However, libgladeui-1.so belongs to glade. But it's libgladeui-1.so.9 for 3.6.3. I think that the problem comes from m4/python.m4 macro. The important part is: py_exec_prefix=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; print sys.exec_prefix"` if test "x$PYTHON_LIBS" == x; then PYTHON_LIBS="-L${py_prefix}/lib -lpython${PYTHON_VERSION}" fi (for me, on x86, that means -L/usr/lib) That is a bit incompatible with portage, as it makes it link with the libs in /usr/lib during src_install().
Of course, if I'd rebuild it now, it will be fixed, but some people may get surprised by this during upgrade.
could you report this problem upstream ? Thanks.
Added a fix for this with the 3.6.4 bump. Thanks for the help, Rafał.
