Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-12 19:01:50 UTC
I removed dev-util/cppunit and got

>>> package: dev-util/cppunit-1.12.1
 *  - /usr/lib64/libcppunit-1.12.so.1
 *  - /usr/lib64/libcppunit-1.12.so.1.0.0
 *      used by /usr/bin/dirac_unittest (media-video/dirac-1.0.2)
Comment 1 sf 2011-10-26 09:25:25 UTC
On my system (x86) cppunit is no longer needed for any other package and was removed by depclean.

revdep-rebuild said

 *   broken /usr/bin/dirac_unittest (requires libcppunit-1.12.so.1)

I re-emerged dirac (without installed cppunit) and the package no longer contains /usr/bin/dirac_unittest.

But as soon as I install cppunit again and re-emerge dirac, /usr/bin/dirac_unittest reappears.

I would fix it this way:

1. dirac should depend (mind: not rdepend) on cpp_unit
2. /usr/bin/dirac_unittest should never be installed
