|    revdep-rebuild doesn't always work?    |

      From: newsspam@weilbacher.org              I have noticed this before with other packages. Sometimes, after updating some       library, I notice that revdep-rebuild says everything is OK, but I still see       missing libraries. The current example is that I updated pdflib (to 7.0.2_p8)       because of the recent security issues. revdep-rebuild is happy but I cannot       start gnuplot (version 4.2.2), because it is missing its pdf library:       "ldd /usr/bin/gnuplot" says "libpdf.so.2 => not found". It at least starts       (didn't try to actually write to a PDF terminal) if I manually link       /usr/lib/libpdf.so.6.0.2 to /usr/lib/libpdf.so.2.              Am I wrong in thinking revdep-rebuild should discover this itself and offer       to re-emerge gnuplot?              Cheers,        Peter.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
