Today I deleted all duplicates I could find on my system...it was a misstake... Now when I tried to start Eterm it says that it can't find libttf.so.2 . Where is it located??
Anyway, I unmerged eterm, and tried to merge it again, in hope that it would fix missing dependencies. Nope...compilation quits with error. Unfortunately, I can't even paste error message, I'm in fluxbox and cut/paste seems not to work between xterm and Opera :( ! But, where can I find libttf.so.2, 'cause I think that's the missing part?
Regards, Jacob W.

On my system I found libttf.so.2 in /usr/lib/ as a symlink to libttf.so.2.2.0

I found it with the find command (as root so that it could look in all locations)
Code:

find / -name libttf*


to fix, You should do the following (as root)
Code:

cd /usr/lib/
ln -sf libttf.so.xxxxx libttf.so.2


Of course replace .xxxxxx with the actual libttf.so.xxxxx that is in your find. And replace "cd /usr/lib/" with the correct directory from your find command.

This will (should) fix Eterm

If that doesn't work, when I had the same problem, I just ran
Code:
emerge -e eterm
and it worked after that. Kind of overkill for the problem, but hey, it worked.

I'm having the exact same problem now after first doing an emerge -u world and thereafter umerging old packages - guess some packages that are listed as dupes by qpkg aren't supposed to be deleted :(

San someone please run a quick epm -qf /usr/lib/libttf.so for me and tell me which package owns that file?

Ah, never mind. After doing an emerge -ep eterm and then emerging some of the packages I thought it might be, the file was found in freetype-1.3.1-r3. However, this leads me to another question:

Why is there both a freetype version 1.3.1-r3 and a 2.0.9 dependency of eterm? Both freetype packages are located in media-libs, and running qpkg --dups -v yields (among more):

media-libs/freetype-2.0.9
media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r3

I know qpkg --dups -v is supposed to order the duplicate packages in order of oldest package first, so this looks sort of messy to me: qpkg obviously detects them as being dupes, but it still recognizes them as being different (since it doesn't order them old-to-new). Can anyone explain this behavior, and how we are supposed to be able to remove old packages without risking killing necessary ones?
