Talk:HOWTO fix libjpeg.so.62 problems

helped me gettin' along with updating my old machine

old and not useful
This is getting very old and I don't think it has any value anymore since portage has improved the handling of library updates.

very helpful
Libjpeg.so.62 seemed to cause various problems, and it was only this howto that helped me.
 * I'd say the information sth can go wrong with this lib is already helpful
 * Idea: cut the section with the emerge and keep the part with "In case of problems with this lib, try revdep rebuild" -- 18:11, 6 January 2011 (GMT)

It helped me also
Please be patient with us beginners. When you are learning stuff that the cognoscenti see as superfluous or out of place can provide the clue we need to advance understanding. I am now (I think) in the final stages of sorting out a mess where none of the standard recommendations seemed to work - and this page was one of three key steps.

Dont remove!
The removal of jpeg.so.62 is as much a pain to handle as the removal of libpng12.la. Neither will go with a simple revdep-rebuild. Rather than removing this, add an ebuild for returning the libpng too, and add a text like this for that, too.

Dont remove!
It helped me. Second position in Google by "libjpeg.so.62".
