Just noticed yesterday an issue with the upgrade documentation in the news
regarding mysql 5.1 and revdep-rebuild.
It suggests running
# revdep-rebuild --library libmysqlclient.so.15
but this is not enough. mysql has more than one library and not all
applications link against the main lib.
On a server system (which uses as-needed), I encountered two packages (apr-
util and mysql-python) only linking against libmysqlclient_r.so.
So at least when mysql 5.1 gets stable, we should correct this.
News item updated now. It looks like qt-sql might have been linking to
libmysqlclient_r too.
I didn't catch it myself as I used the @preserved-rebuild support in
newer Portage.
Doesn't revdep-rebuild support regular expressions? You might want to
use one to catch all linkages.
