I just realized that the preserve-libs feature of portage-2.2_X does not necessarily result in a clean system. You still have to run revdep-rebuild.
| Code: | emerge -uDav world
emerge @preserved-rebuild -av
(when done:)
revdep-rebuild -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/rasqal-0.9.16 USE="gmp pcre xml -test" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/redland-1.0.8 USE="mysql sqlite ssl threads xml -berkdb -postgres" 0 kB |
Is this as it should be? Or would it be good to file a bug?
Thanks.

yes, portage-2.2.x is hardmasked for a reason, right ?

i guess the portage devs are well aware of these problems, maybe ask them if it is worth a bugreport or not.
cheers

it is as it should be since preserved-rebuild relies on a package listing what libs it depends on.
ie unless you go an do a "emerge -e @world @system" you will still have some packages that didn't list what lib's they depend on
Over time more and more of your system will be emerged with a version of portage >2.2

@Naib: Thanks for your answer. This sounds reasonable. Im my case, however, the two packages found by revdep-rebuild were pulled in by KDE4, so they should already have been built using portage-2.2.
Anyhow, I've learned that it's good to keep using revdep-rebuild in the near future.
