today evening I've update my system, after a sync, this packages : sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1 sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9 net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.4 www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.4 sys-fs/udev-146-r1 sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2 app-misc/hal-info-20090716 (for the moment I've disabled the crypt flag for hal due a conflict with 1 of up packages) and at the end, portage returned : !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 * - /lib/libblkid.so * used by /bin/mount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /bin/umount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /sbin/blkid (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by 10 other files * - /lib/libuuid.so * used by /bin/mount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /bin/umount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /sbin/blkid (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by 213 other files than I run emerge @preserved-rebuild, and start rebuilding of sys-fs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.19-r2 sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1 x11-libs/pango-1.24.5-r1 dev-libs/apr-1.3.9 sys-fs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0-r1 sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9 x11-libs/libSM-1.1.1 media-libs/jasper-1.900.1-r3 dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.9 sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.51-r1 net-libs/gupnp-0.12.8 sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2 x11-libs/libXt-1.0.6 sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.6-r2 dev-util/subversion-1.6.5 x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7 x11-libs/libXaw-1.0.6 gnome-base/librsvg-2.26.0 x11-libs/libwnck-2.26.2-r2 gnome-base/gconf-2.26.2-r1 x11-libs/gtksourceview-2.6.2 net-print/gutenprint-5.1.4 dev-python/pygtk-2.14.1-r1 gnome-base/libgnomeprintui-2.18.4 media-libs/libquicktime-1.1.3 media-gfx/graphviz-2.24.0-r2 media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.2.9 media-video/mjpegtools-1.9.0 media-video/transcode-1.0.7 media-video/cinelerra-20090210 media-video/kino-1.3.3 x11-libs/libnotify-0.4.5 x11-misc/notification-daemon-0.4.0-r1 After this reemerging, emerge re-print same message, and @preserved-rebuild has the same packages-set; re-emerging for the second time this set no change this status. now I've resynked portage,re-enabled the crypt use-flag HAL, but no change for this problem.

Try to 'emerge -1 e2fsprogs-libs util-linux'. If the problem with 'crypt' useflag on 'world' emerge persists, you probably need to replace device-mapper with a recent lvm2.

_exactly_ the same for me: 1. I've updated the system 2. Added 'sys-apps/hal -crypt' to package.use 3. emerge @preserved-rebuild rebuilts the same set of packages endlessly 4. I've got: >>> Installing (2 of 2) sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 >>> needed sym /lib/libblkid.so !!! File '/lib/libblkid.so.1.1.0' will not be preserved due to missing contents entry >>> Auto-cleaning packages... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 147 info files. !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 * - /lib/libblkid.so * used by /bin/mount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /bin/umount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /sbin/blkid (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by 10 other files Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries 5. I have no device-mapper installed - lvm2-2.02.51-r1 instead.
I've resolves re-emerging e2fsprogs-libs util-linux the first time, and next one alone e2fsprogs-libs, and the problem show out in my case.
Yeah, it really works after rebuilding e2fsprogs-libs twice. Strange...
