Hi, I know there are thousands of similar questions but I've tried the usual troubleshooting.

It affects libva and proton-ge-custom.
revdep-rebuild does nothing and says that the system is fine. emerge @preserved-rebuild rebuilds proton-ge-custom and the error doesn't disappear. Happens with all versions of proton-ge-custom.
Not sure if this is a package error or something with my system. If it's the former I'll contact the maintainer but I'd like to know what it is first.

I've been having the problem for a few weeks now. I think it started when I changed abi_x86_32 for some packages because of steam.

Here is the warning:
Code:

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: media-libs/libva-2.22.0
 *  - /usr/lib/libva-x11.so.2
 *  - /usr/lib/libva-x11.so.2.2200.0
 *      used by /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-25/files/lib/libavutil.so.56.51.100 (app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin-9.25)
 *  - /usr/lib64/libva-x11.so.2
 *  - /usr/lib64/libva-x11.so.2.2200.0
 *      used by /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-25/files/lib64/libavutil.so.56.51.100 (app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin-9.25)
Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

Binary packages frequently get stuck with libraries that can't be revdep-rebuilt.
It seems like this package you have is out of portage technically it's unsupported. But if it's a binary package as app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin seems to imply, you're stuck with it because binaries cannot be rebuilt (where's the source code?)

If that's the case and there are no actual issues being caused by this, you can probably just ignore the warning.

So only option is to wait till it fixes itself? Can you somehow disable the warning?

Don't think so. The warning does exist for a reason so I wouldn't recommend disabling it if there is a way to do so. As I've said, your best bet is to ignore it.

You might be able to fix it by forcibly uninstalling and reinstalling the affected packages. Not sure if this actually solves it though.
