Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2004-07-25 15:27:17 UTC 
after emerge upgrades gdbm to 1.8.3 (previously was on 1.8.0-r5), it leaves behind an empty file /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 which causes problems.

I believe this is because it copies ${ROOT}/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 into ${D}/usr/lib/ and as ${ROOT}/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 is a symlink to libgdbm.so.2.0.0, when it is touched it creates the empty ${D}/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0. Which is then installed onto your system and thus borks everything up.

Portage 2.0.51_pre13 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040619-r0, 2.6.7-mm4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+)
