libmodplug deletes the libtool libmodplug.la file needed for other ebulids. See Bug 268877 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge asc 2. 3. Actual Results: fails to build; throwing an error about missing libmodplug.la file See Bug 268877 Expected Results: After commenting out the delete line in the libmodplug ebulid, asc merges fine. # find "${D}" -name '*.la' -delete
Id say it's invalid. Take a look at bug 158476 and lafilefixer.
And revdep-rebuild is your friend in any case.
Please reopen if revdep-rebuild does not solve your issue.
Revdep would not have helped at all this was an initial merge of asc thus would not have triggered a rebuild of libmodplug that still would not have provided libmodplug.la. Didn't try lafixer though, maybe I got some time to spare this weekend.
Please file bugs for the failing packages.
This is no bug, the file was removed in purpose. Please take a look at lafilefixer, the problem is not in the package but in a installed broken .la in your system which has libmodplug.
