broken files left and revdep-rebuild

03-21-2010, 06:15 PM

Hi,

I just ran revdep-rebuild -i -- --ask. At the end there was:

* Found some broken files that weren't associated with known packages
* The broken files are:
* /usr/bin/imgcmp
* /usr/bin/imginfo
* /usr/bin/jasper
* /usr/lib/libjasper-1.701.so.1.0.0

Does somebody know where those files came from? I tend to remove them.
Will this break the system?

Regards
kh

They all appear to belong to jasper. I looked them up here:

As to why those are not owned by anything, I have no idea.

I use something like

equery belong /usr/bin/imgcmp

and if nothing owns them then I remove them by hand, one by one. It's
just kruft left over.

After I'm all done with that then I run emerge -pvDuN @world and
revdep-rebuild -ip again to ensure everything's cool.
