I emerged the latest mysql this morning and postfix stopped working. I attempted to re-emerge the latest postfix to see if a recompile would help, and postfix wasn't able to compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mysql 2. emerge -C postfix 3. emerge postfix Actual Results: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient Expected Results: compiled I emerged mysql today: [miniscd:/usr/lib] bash> genlop mysql * dev-db/mysql Merged at Thu Nov 6 20:29:08 2003 (mysql-4.0.14-r2) Merged at Tue Dec 30 16:25:40 2003 (mysql-4.0.16) Merged at Wed Feb 25 17:57:34 2004 (mysql-4.0.17) Merged at Thu Mar 11 14:29:43 2004 (mysql-4.0.18) Merged at Mon May 10 22:19:21 2004 (mysql-4.0.18-r1) Merged at Fri May 28 13:35:24 2004 (mysql-4.0.18-r2) Merged at Mon Jul 12 23:21:47 2004 (mysql-4.0.20) Merged at Thu Sep 2 14:06:52 2004 (mysql-4.0.20-r1) Merged at Fri Oct 29 22:22:41 2004 (mysql-4.0.21) Merged at Wed Nov 3 14:23:25 2004 (mysql-4.0.22) Merged at Wed Jan 19 15:36:16 2005 (mysql-4.0.23-r1) And after that point when I atempted to send email, I got an error that /usr/bin/sendmail could not find libmyclient.so.12. I use postfix, not sendmail. Before I attempted to remove and recompile postfix, I did this check to see what modules it depended on.

This seems similar to bug 16963.
