revdep-rebuild keeps reinstalling binutils
 

After todays update world, I run revdep-rebuild which reports binutils
broken and uses `oneshot' to reinstall it. Follow with another
revdep-rebuild and it finds the same thing.

Anyone seen something similar or have an idea what might be the problem?

Sounds like your haveing a similar problem to what I have been haveing

I have seen this for weeks, but since I upgrade to portage-2.2* at the same
time, do not know whether it is related. My revdep-rebuild out is listed
below, anyone has a solution?

revdep-rebuild keeps reinstalling binutils
 

Hi Leon,

have you really run
lafilefixer --justfixit

and some time, ago, I had problems because of
dangling symlinks, so I've run

symlinks -dr /usr

(which remove all dangling symlinks in /usr/**/*)

Then re-emerge sys-devel/binutils again

I hope this helps,m

Helmut.

Are you also running the testing gentoolkit? Otherwise you're trying to
use the old revdep-rebuild wit the new portage, which may have
unexpected consequences.

Have you run lafilefixer --justfixit? This should always be the first
step when revdep-rebuild reports problems.

My output is identical to that posted by Leon F.

Where does one find find lafilefixer?

root # which lafilefixer

which: no lafilefixer in
(/usr/local/bin:/cvsb/reader/home/reader/scripts:/cvsb/reader/home/reader/scripts/perl:/cvsb/reader/home/reader/scripts/awk:/cvsb/reader/home/reader/scripts/log_tools:/root/bin:/cvsb/reader/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2/deprecated/qpkg:/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2/deprecated/etcat:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.4)

Obsessively opposed to the typical.

You were speaking to Leon no me (The OP), but since my output was
identical, I'll report too:

I'm running ~x86 on everything and latest version of gentoolkit (I
don't have gentoolkit-dev installed)

I've emerged lafilefixer (thanks Steve) and ran
lafilefixer --justfixit

Then ran revdep-rebuild again.... it still finds broken binutils so
I'm letting it `oneshot' the emerge.

Was the expectation that running `lafilefixer --justfixit' would stop
revdep-rebuild from continuously finding a broken binutils?

Or was I expected to run lafilefixer --justfixit and then rebuild
binutils once more?

In any case I did the later and now the oneshot has finished and a
rerun of revdep-rebuild again finds the same `broken' binutils....

Apparently no progress has occurred..
