Uahh. Fixed with: ln -s /lib64/libnsl-2.26.so /lib64/libnsl.so So i guess it's a minor glitch which the glibc ebuild could take care of. thanks and cheers
Same here, this is not quite as obvious if net-libs/libnsl is installed on the system, of course.
I think this is still real, although it might not be exim's fault. Since glibc split libnsl out of the regular glibc package, libnsl is no longer available in the system set. So either the packages that depend on it need to declare the dependency, or gentoo needs to put it separately in the system set. Either way it's not correct now!
so, should exim's ebuild just add a dep on virtual/libnsl?
(In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #4) > so, should exim's ebuild just add a dep on virtual/libnsl? Just depend unconditionally on net-libs/libnsl (it's a dummy for old glibc). Note, you may also need libtirpc at some point...
