Anyone know how the problem was actually fixed? Did they start linking wget statically? Or are we relying on portage's new tricks, like background downloading, which hides 99% of the problem under the rug, as you will very likely have the sources already downloaded during previous compiles? -- Arttu V.

[gentoo-user] How can I solve "emerge @preserved-rebuild" loop?
Hi, I update my server quite frequently without any problem, but today after running "emerge -uDN world" I got these messages: - !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 * - /lib64/libuuid.so * used by /bin/mount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /bin/umount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /sbin/blkid (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by 16 other files * - /lib64/libblkid.so * used by /bin/mount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /bin/umount (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by /sbin/blkid (sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1) * used by 8 other files Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries - So I did run "emerge @preserved-rebuild", but at the end of it I got the very same messages.
