Hi, Gentoo!

A couple of days ago, I merged firefox-17.0.2 and ran revdep-rebuild -p.
It said, strangely, that some firefox libraries needed rebuilding.

I've just let revdep-rebuild rebuild firefox.  I run revdep-rebuild -p
again, and it's still saying these libraries need rebuilding.  This
isn't good.

Here's some output from revdep-rebuild -p:

 * Checking dynamic linking consistency
[ 100% ]
 *   broken /usr/lib64/firefox/libxpcom.so (no version information available)
 *   broken /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container (no version information 
available)
 *   broken /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/bin/xpcshell (no version information 
available)
 *   broken /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so (no version information 
available)
 * Generated new 3_broken.rr
 * Assigning files to packages
 *   /usr/lib64/firefox/libxpcom.so -> www-client/firefox
 *   /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container -> www-client/firefox
 *   /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/bin/xpcshell -> www-client/firefox
 *   /usr/lib64/firefox/sdk/lib/libxpcom.so -> www-client/firefox

The problem seems to be the "no version information available".
revdep-rebuild is now less useful than it should be.

Has anybody else encountered this problem, and what is the best way to
solve it?
