> What to do? Can I safely ignore the revdep-rebuild messages?
I think you can safely ignore that (unless you're running java
applications that use sound/alsa). the java packages are binary, that
means that you don't compile it according to your use flags, you install
the "whole package", so some libraries (like libalsasound.so) will
complain if you don't have alsa support. I'm having this problem with
opera and libXm but I just ignore it.
Thanks.
You might consider the alternate route of removing the offending
libjsoundalsa.so file.
Of course, rather than simply /bin/rm'ing the thing away you might want to
just relocate it temporarily. Then do a revdep-rebuild -p to see if
blackdown starts complaining about the missing file...
Another alternative is to install alsa. Granted you won't be using it
because you don't have the hardware, but it might be enough to have a clean
revdep-rebuild. Based on equery results, it looks like all you'd need to
emerge is alsa-lib and alsa-headers, so you wouldn't be talking about a
great deal of extra space...
Just a thought.
