Well, I'm a KDE guy with GTK+ but not GNOME installed, meaning no GNOME-
Virtual_FileSystem either, but it's relatively easy to see the problem
there, that libcdda.so was built with support for whatever provided
gnome_vfs_uri_get_basename, but that the current version of whatever that
was doesn't provide it in the same way, so it can't see it now.
One would think that revdep-rebuild would catch the problem, but maybe it
didn't in your case. Or... you've rerun revdep-rebuild and got a clean-
system report, and rebooted since then, just to be sure, right? (True,
this is Linux and a reboot shouldn't really be necessary if you know how
to flush everything currently running, but it remains the easiest way to
be sure when remote troubleshooting.)
If revdep-rebuild is saying you are fine, you rebooted so you /know/
everything is flushed since then, and you are /still/ getting the
problem, then I'd say it's time to file a bug, since either revdep-
rebuild is not seeing something it should, or your loader (ld.so, part of
glibc) is screwing up. The latter could be due to a screwed up ldcache,
due to screwed up library search paths, but then even more so, there's a
Gentoo bug somewhere with the library search paths infrastructure and it
needs fixed.
It's also possible you could trace and resolve the missing symbols to a
particular library and then it to a package manually. That's what I'd
try, but I'm not up to trying to explain how ATM...
Actually, what I could (and did) do here, some time ago when I had
similar problems and did have GNOME-VFS merged, was kill the gnome-vfs
USE flags stuff, since I'm not a GNOME user anyway. You could /try/
killing it for totem and/or its dependencies and see how far you get, but
I'm guessing that's not a way you want to go. I wouldn't blame you if
you're a GNOME fan.
