I got this message while follwoing the instructions of sys-libs/readline-6.0_p3 : $>revdep-rebuild --library libreadline.so.5 ... rm: cannot remove `2_ldpath.rr': No such file or directory Is this a armless message ? Reproducible: Always
I get the same, this is a problem for me because due that error revdep-rebuild doesn't exit succesfully, then, I am unable to run other commands after that with "&&" (I need to use ";" instead). Seems that 2_ldpath.rr is not being created at all: $ ls 0_env.rr 1_files.rr 3_broken.rr 3_errors.rr 4_ebuilds.rr 4_owners.rr 4_pkgs.rr 4_raw.rr 5_order.rr If this is really harmless, maybe revdep-rebuild should exit succesfully. I am suffering this with app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc7 This is the full output: # LC_ALL=C revdep-rebuild --library libreadline.so.5 -- --jobs * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild * Checking reverse dependencies * Packages containing binaries and libraries using libreadline.so.5 * will be emerged. * Collecting system binaries and libraries * Generated new 1_files.rr * Checking dynamic linking [ 5% ] * found /usr/bin/bc ...

The message is harmless, but the bug needs to be fixed. It occurs whenever the --library parameter is used.
Created attachment 218054 [details, diff] use rm -f for non-interactive temp file removal Couldn't reproduce this bug in 0.3.0_rc8, but glancing through the source, I did notice only one instance where temp files were removed with rm, where in all other locations we're using rm -f. So this patch should fix the bug, though not sure if it really fixes the root of the issue. Also fixed in genscripts svn: $ svn ci -m "Fixes an issue in revdep-rebuild where we were using 'rm file' instead of 'rm -f file' for non-interactive removing of temp files; bug #284419" Sending bin/revdep-rebuild Transmitting file data . Committed revision 184.
Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc9 and gentoolkit-0.2.4.6
Thanks
