Created attachment 727527 [details] emerge --info net-libs/zeromq-4.3.4-r1:0/5 is installed running revdep-rebuild produces the following code: * This is the new python coded version * Please report any bugs found using it. * The original revdep-rebuild script is installed as revdep-rebuild.sh * Please file bugs at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/ * Checking dynamic linking consistency * Assign files to packages emerge --oneshot --complete-graph=y net-libs/zeromq:0/5 I have allowed revdep-rebuild to run and install the package. After the package is re-installed, running revdep-rebuild produces the same results.
Please run revdep-rebuild with --debug and attach/post the output showing the lib causing the rebuild. Second, please run : redep-rebuild.sh to see if it also triggers the old bash version (it uses a different method) and report if it too triggers a rebuild. Third, an entry into /etc/revdep-rebuild/... can tell revdep-rebuild to ignore the offending lib causing the rebuild. See the other files installed there for examples. If both versions trigger a rebuild, it is possible that the package installs with a bad link. In that case the pkg should probably install an file in /etc/revdep-rebuild to prevent the false positive. CC'ing zeromq maintainer...
When I went back into the system (it was shut down for two days), revdep-rebuild responds with: Your system is consistent Maybe a reboot helped, do you think that forgetting the remembered locations (hash -r) would have mitigated this? I will change the status to resolved and WorksForMe.
