You need to read the portage man pages. There is nothing inconsistent about 
your system and there is nothing to fix. So revdep-rebuild was pointless.

Those two packages are BUILD DEPENDS, not RUNTIME DEPENDS.
They only need to be upgraded when you emerge something that will use then in 
the build phase.

Portage has had this nice feature for ages. You can switch it off in make.conf

 Exactly. My Ferrari is back with a brand new engine and no libpng issue.


Lets follow this logic.

You blindly wanted to re-emerge all of world because an over-reaching gcc 
upgrade guide said so. Coincidentally, there was a monumental libpng cock-up 
hanging around which emerge -e world just happened to fix.

And this somehow validates the gcc upgrade guide?

You just happened to have a fortunate side-effect at the right time. Doesn't 
change the fact that the author of the guide wrote a misleading document.

I was the second one to catch that tho.  I think it was Alan that told 
me that when I ran into a similar issue.  After a bit we figured out 
that it was a really deep dependency that was causing me grief.  It does 
take portage longer to calculate dependencies when you add that tho.  
That little swirling thing goes at it for a while when I do my updates.  
Then again, it has a lot to think about:

Typo.

 Gentoo has the new GCC slotted and the handbook

Of course is slotted. gcc has been slotted since the dawn of time so that you 
can install mutiple compilers and use any one you feel like at any point. 
Tools exists to switch the current compiler in use

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml
 
 Suggests emerge -e system and emerge -e world in the General Upgrade
 Instructions.

It suggests, it does not say it is mandatory with description of why.

Periodically on this list this topic comes up and we re-hash again, for the 
unmpteenth time, why the docs are misleading. That doc was apparently written 
by someone who was looking for ways to minimize the amount of mail he gets. If 
he says to rebuild system and world, then most of the questions he gets asked 
just go away. Can't fault the dev for that

This is all in the mail archives. Most of the whinging done by me actually

 If you think the handbook is wrong or my interpretation of it wrong
 then *please* tell me. I would prefer *not* to go through this nightmare
 whenever GCC does a major version bump.

You do not have to do what the handbook tells you, you just have to realise 
what the handbook hopes to achieve. As hinted above, the intended result 
appears to be least hassle for the gentoo devs and document writers with 
maximal guarantee that your box will work afterwards regardless fo how long it 
takes or number of cpu cycles burnt. It's not necessarily the most convenient 
way.

I have not had to rebuild world due to a compiler upgrade since sometime 
around the late 3 series (there was a C++ ABI change).

Only if you want to remove the old version, if only to ensure that
everything builds with 4.4. Every time I remove 4.3, I find myself
re-emerging it because some odd package won't build with 4.4, so I ended
up leaving it there.

This generally isn't a problem, because you normally only edit files
in /etc, which are config protected anyway. It arises here because
fix_libtool_files.sh modifies the .la files. One could argue that it is
the responsibility of that script to check the md5/mtime information and
update it.

Cheese, I'm learning something.  I already knew that it would not delete
files in /etc/ and now I know why.  LOL  I never put the two together
before you said that.  Who knows, maybe in 20 years I'll be a dev.  O_O 
I'll be too old then though.

I'm working on a fresh install on another hard drive now.  That will
clear out some cruft.  I copied my make.conf file and one other config
file and that is it.  Oh, the kernel's .config.  I knew it was something
outside of /etc. 

Thanks for clearing up my muddy water.  Care to help with the rest now?  LOL

I still would prefer if it was stored in a log file somewhere so that if I 
ever stumple upon it I can see where it came from... Haven't gotten around to 
filing any bug about that though.

Well, the /etc thing is generally more due to CONFIG_PROTECT - it won't 
delete files from /etc regardless of whether or not you've modified 
them, because they're under CONFIG_PROTECTion.

I did that too.  I'm not sure if it is just me or what but every time I
run revdep-rebuild it wants to emerge gcc again.  It did the same thing
before the gcc upgrade.  If you run it, you may want to post to make
sure it is making sense.  After three runs, I said forget it.  It'll

It is bug #125728 [1]? Otherwise if it continues consider posting the output 
of:

 Did you remove the temporary files of revdep-rebuild from /root?

 I had no problems with the upgrade and running revdep-rebuild afterward.
 In fact, revdep-rebuild showed me no package at all to rebuild, which
 was what I expected.

I remove those each time.  It is sort of a habit now.  I run it on

Since you don't have aqbanking installed anymore, just delete these

 I unmerged aqbanking.  It wouldn't compile and I was not using it
 anyway. 
 
 What you think?  Bug or me having a setting wrong??

Did you run fix_libtool_files.sh between merging and unmerging aqbanking?
This changes .la files, which means that their checksums no longer match
the installed versions so portage doesn't remove them. Whether this is a
bug in fix_libtool_files.sh or portage is open for discussion.

 This has nothing to do with depclean. Neils suggesting that the md5sums were 
 altered by fix_libtool_files.sh and hence not removed seems much more likely. 
 Portage doesn't removed files with altered md5sums..

   

What would be a good way of finding files that were not deleted when
something was upgraded/unmerged?  I thought depclean was different from
what I wanted to say but it got the ball rolling.

Last part, zm, right over my head I think.  Let's see if I get
this right.  emerge put a file in there, something, me maybe, changed
something so it leaves it alone.  That right??

Gosh I wish someone could just pour all the Gentoo stuff in my head.

Depclean is to remove packages that are no longer in or a dependency of 
something in your world file.

Yep. 

So just to illustrate:

# touch  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim

# emerge --unmerge -va gentoo-syntax
 These are the packages that would be unmerged:
[SNIP]
 Unmerging app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20051221-r1...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.
[SNIP]
obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newinitd.vim
obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/neweselect.vim
obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newebuild.vim
obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/gentoo-common.vim
--- !mtime obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim
[SNIP]
--- !empty dir /usr/share/vim
dir /usr/share/doc/gentoo-syntax-20051221-r1

All the things that has a  are actually removed. The things with --- 
are not removed for the reason given in the following column. Since I 
touch'ed  /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim it wasn't removed 
with the reason: !mtime which means the last modified time has been altered 
after it was installed. The reason !empty is the reason for dirs which 
aren't empty (others packages have installed files in the same dirs...).

After the unmerge is complete the only way to know is that the files no longer 
belong to any package. Of course when I remerge this package in a few minutes 
the files will be overwritten and the mtime will be correct again...

Hope that makes it clear.
