 |

Hello.. I was in the process of doing an emerge --update... and after it completed successfully, the following message was posted.
| Quote: | Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system. In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs, the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
# revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'
Once you've finished running revdep-rebuild, it should be safe to delete the old libraries. Here is a copy & paste for the lazy:
# rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' |
So I typed revdep-rebuild (without the --library '/lib64...' part) and then deleted the file libpcre.so.0.. Apparently the extra parameters were required. (= So naturally, now I am getting emerge failures and I'm not sure how to resolve this.
Thanks! |

I solved the problem (** I think **)
I probably got lucky, but what I did was create a symbolic link to the new file libpcre.so.1 called libpcre.so.0 and then ran the command:
| Code: | | revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' |
...and everything worked. |
