libpcre.so.0 not used, yet system broken...
 

Hi,
I updated recently libpcre to 8.30-r2 on ~10 system without
problems. Today I updated the last one. As usually, this
message has been printed:

* Messages for package dev-libs/libpcre-8.30-r2:
* Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system.
* In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs,
* the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild
* in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this
* helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
*
* # revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0' &&
rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

So I run first:
# revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

To my big surprise, none packages have been found:
* There are no dynamic links to /lib64/libpcre.so.0. All done

I was a little suspicious because I remember on all other
systems 2 packages had to be recompiled. So I created copy
of the above mentioned library in homedir, and removed it:
# rm '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'

Then I tried "revdep-rebuild" and got plenty of errors:

grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently, grep needs libpcre.so.0. But how is it possible
that "revdep-rebild --library '/lib64/libpcre.so.0'" does not
find any package linked to libpcre.so.0, yet when I remove it,
grep is broken?

Does anybody remember what was the 2nd package linked to
libpcre.so.0, which had to be recompliled after libpcre
upgrade?

I'll venture 'sed' as a guess.

On my system:

equery d libpcre
* These packages depend on libpcre:
app-admin/syslog-ng-3.3.5 (pcre ? dev-libs/libpcre)
dev-lang/swig-2.0.4-r1 (pcre ? dev-libs/libpcre)
dev-vcs/git-1.7.8.6 (perl ? dev-libs/libpcre)
net-analyzer/ettercap-0.7.4.1 (pcre ? dev-libs/libpcre)
net-analyzer/nmap-6.00 (dev-libs/libpcre)
sys-apps/grep-2.12 (pcre ? >=dev-libs/libpcre-7.8-r1)
sys-apps/less-445-r1 (pcre ? dev-libs/libpcre)
www-client/epiphany-extensions-3.4.0 (pcre ? >=dev-libs/libpcre-3.9-r2)

equery d -a libpcre spits out tons of packages, though. Assuming the
ebuilds have the right dependencies set, you could try it yourself and
reemerge the things listed.

That should be at least a start...

Thanks for tip! I have found this in /var/log/emerge.log
on different (but very similar) system:

emerge --oneshot --complete-graph app-admin/syslog-ng:0
sys-apps/grep:0

So I suppose grep and syslog-ng must be re-emerged.
Yet I'm surprised revdep-rebuild did not find anything
linked to libpcre.so.0 this time...

I see the same situation, is is asking to rebuild and remove against "libpcre.so.0"
Should I backup this file first, before removing it?

The strange part is that on my other systems it did not ask me to rebuild/remove this library.
