QA Notice: Unresolved soname dependencies
   

This warning comes up when a library or executable has one or more soname dependencies (found in its NEEDED.ELF.2 metadata) that could not be resolved by usual means. If you run ldd on files like these then it will report a "not found" error for each unresolved soname dependency. In order to correct problems with soname dependency resolution, use one or more of the approaches described in the following sections.

Content of the NEEDED.ELF.2 metadata file may be useful for debugging purposes. Find the NEEDED.ELF.2 file in the ${D}/../build-info/ directory after the ebuild src_install phase completes, or in the /var/db/pkg/*/*/ directory for an installed package. Each line of the NEEDED.ELF.2 file contains semicolon separated values for a single ELF file. The soname dependencies are found in the DT_NEEDED column:

   E_MACHINE;path;DT_SONAME;DT_RUNPATH;DT_NEEDED;multilib category
