The following comments turned up in my elogs recently:

WARN: postinst
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 libmpfr.so.1
Once you've finished running revdep-rebuild, it should be safe to
delete the old libraries. Here is a copy & paste for the lazy:
# rm '/usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1'

I know there is or was recently a bug that shows more argument than
resolution about this problem at:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324763
Best I could tell was not install mpfr-3.0.0 version yet.
So wondering if it is safe to follow the procedure suggested above.
