Merging binutils-2.25.1-r1 followed by a distclean removes sys-libs/binutils-libs. emerge @preserved-rebuild fails to get rid of the preserved library. Installing sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.25.1-r2 resolves the issue Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update to sys-devel/binutils-2.25.1-r1 2. emerge --depclean 3. emerge @preserved-rebuild Actual Results: preserved library is still in place Expected Results: preserved library is removed ########################################################## # emerge @preserved-rebuild These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
