any ideas ?

Same thing here... no ideas yet.

It seems to be messing up on a line of the ebuild that hasn't changed. Perhaps the recent portage update changed something about the preserve_old_lib call? Otherwise, I'm drawing a blank.

Sorry did not check back on this..
you need to edit the ebuild and change the line

Code: Select all

                # Keep around old lib
                 preserve_old_lib /usr/$(get_libdir)/libexif.so.9

to this

Code: Select all

}
pkg_postinst() {
        preserve_old_lib_notify /usr/$(get_libdir)/libexif.so.9
}

then

Code: Select all

ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/libexif/libexif-0.6.13-r1.ebuild digest

I have to rember to have coffie before computer work :-}

Okay, so it looks like the ebuild maintainer fixed the problem in in the libexif-0.6.13-r2 ebuild. I guess portage made it so that preserve_old_lib could only be called from pkg_preinst.

For now, changing the package to work with ~x86 should fix it or you could modify the old ebuild yourself and update the digest (though if you do this it will be reverted every time you emerge --sync I think). Once the r2 package is marked as stable you can then take the ~x86 keyword off the libexif package if you want.

EDIT: You beat me to the post

AAAaaaiiiieeee.....

I notice that the "to this:" text is the same as the last line. Wouldn't it be easier (cleaner, more elegant) to just comment out

Code: Select all

# preserve_old_lib /usr/$(get_libdir)/libexif.so.9

????

As I read it (being a n00b and all) that would prevent double execution. Of course, if that were meant as a confirmation that you were in the right place (a la 'diff') then c'est la vie as it were.

EDIT: emerging libexif in this manner worked for me!

Dont know if this is related seems it did keep something but gimp is built against so.10 , I just rebuild gimp but it still fails.
