I keep getting this message while emerging: /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1 is not a symbolic link This just started happening immediately after installing sys-libs/tdb-1.1.5, which was pulled by some other update. Googling this error, one question that's commonly asked is for the contents of ld.so.conf, so here it is: # cat /etc/ld.so.conf # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /usr/local/lib //usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib //usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib /lib /usr/lib /lib64 /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib64 /lib32 /usr/lib32 /usr/local/lib32 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.2/32 /usr/lib64/nspr /usr/lib64/nss /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/lib64/qca2 /usr/lib/qt4 /usr/lib64/qt4 /usr/lib32/qt4 /usr/games/lib /usr/games/lib64 /usr/games/lib32 /usr/lib64/R/lib Reproducible: Always Portage 2.1.7.1 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.2, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.31-gentoo-r3 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r3-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Quad_CPU_Q9450_@_2.66GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p33 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.3, 3.1.1-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.5.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -ggdb -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /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/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -ggdb -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=5" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://gentoo.netnitco.net http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.gentoo.org/ ftp://gentoo.imj.fr/pub/gentoo/ ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_US" MAKEOPTS="--jobs=5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 apache2 bash-completion berkdb bidi bzip2 cairo cdda cdio cdr cli cracklib crypt ctype cups dbus dri dts dvd dvdr encode fbcon ffmpeg filter flac fortran freetype gcj gd gdbm gnutls gpm hal httpd iconv ipv6 isdnlog jadetex java jpeg jpeg2k kde kde4 kerberos lame lapack lcms ldap live lm_sensors mad matroska mjpeg mmx mng modules mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib mysql mysqli ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp openssl pam pcre perl php png ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba session spl sql sse sse2 sse3 ssl stream svg sysfs tcl tcpd theora threads tiff tk truetype unicode utempter vcd vlm vorbis webkit wxwindows x264 xorg xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonhd" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
You simply need to clean it up - check, that you have the lib from sys-libs/tdb, remove /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1, run ldconfig and check revdep-rebuild.
Seems to be incorrectly installed by samba-libs ferret@jupiter ~ $ qfile /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1 net-fs/samba-libs (/usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1) ferret@jupiter ~ $ qfile /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1.1.5 sys-libs/tdb (/usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.1.5)
Resolved for me with update to net-fs/samba-libs-3.4.2-r3
Timothy, did you try updating samba-libs to see if that works for you as well?
No, sorry. I fixed it manually by deleting the files and doing revdep-rebuild.
