I had a lot of entries in a package.use file for the abi 32 version. Those entries were pretty old. They were likely from back when some packages hadn't changed to 64 yet but have since then. I made a copy of the entries and removed the file. I then did a emerge -auDN world and it is changing to 64 version for all of them without complaint. I mention this for this reason, anyone reading this may want to check any entries they may have but forgot about and see if they can be removed on their system as well. This may take care of any future problems like this or other problems, such as no 32 version available anymore. Reading this post is what reminded me that I had those entries. I'd forgot about it since they are in a separate file from other package.use entries. I may not be alone in this. Dale :-) :-)

How do I figure out what I need to do? Assuming you're on amd64... These are 32-bit libraries. You probably had abi_x86_32 set on these packages before, and it's not any more. Normally Portage will remove these if no other (32-bit) package requires them, but nowadays there is the freetype[harfbuzz] -> harfbuzz -> freetype dependency cycle, so you need to explicitly break the cycle *while temporarily reenabling 32-bit* to get Portage to remove the libs cleanly. Something like, temporarily put this in package.use: app-arch/bzip2 abi_x86_32 dev-libs/glib abi_x86_32 dev-libs/libpcre2 abi_x86_32 media-gfx/graphite2 abi_x86_32 media-libs/freetype abi_x86_32 -harfbuzz # Break the cycle. media-libs/harfbuzz abi_x86_32 media-libs/libpng abi_x86_32 sys-libs/zlib abi_x86_32 and reemerge these packages. Then when you remove these USE flags and emerge again, the 32-bit libraries will disappear. Cheers, Bryan

May or may not help, but have you tried revdep-rebuild? On 11/23/23 16:51, Matt Connell wrote: First time I've seen this happen!

Re: [gentoo-user] Portage reports preserved libs, but won't rebuild
Sorry for the double post; I got a mail-undeliverable from Google so I thought it didn't go through and retried it. Turns out it got to the mailing list (both times) but not to gmail recipients because Google doesn't like my SPF record (record says hard-fail on no match and someone somewhere is using ipv6).
