After emerging www-apps/redmine (with +imagemagick) and using it for some days now, i have upgraded media-gfx/imagemagick from 6.5.9.4-r1 to 6.6.0.10. The result was, that redmine doesn't start anymore, although "/etc/init.d/redmine start" threw no errors at all. I have done some research and found this error, when trying to start redmine manually: "/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.13.0/lib/RMagick2.so: This installation of RMagick was configured with ImageMagick 6.5.9 but ImageMagick 6.6.0-10 is in use. (RuntimeError)" The solution is obvious then: re-emerge dev-ruby/rmagick after upgrading media-gfx/imagemagick. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.9.4-r1, emerge www-apps/redmine (with +imagemagick) 2. emerge media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.0.10 3. /etc/init.d/redmine start Expected Results: After upgrading media-gfx/imagemagick, dev-ruby/rmagick should be marked for re-emerge.
re-assigning to ruby if they want to dummy-revision bump the package... but there's a dev-portage@ bug open for this... if $A is emerged then $B would be as well, currently portage lacks the support for that.

Until portage has implemented that feature, there's nothing we can do. Fake revbumps sounds like a rather vague workaround to me, I don't think we want to do that. Besides, this issue is easily discoverable. It should appear in log files or when the host application is started manually, so I'm closing this bug as LATER.
