Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Just a quick heads up that I have just unmasked x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 and |
| 4 |
its companion libraries in all profiles _except_ 2008.0. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As some of you have already found out, since 1.2, libxcb stopped |
| 7 |
shipping a very specific library: libxcb-xlib.so. This library was only |
| 8 |
ever meant to be used internally by libX11, but due to libtool's |
| 9 |
infamous .la files, the removal of this library may cause some headaches |
| 10 |
during the upgrade. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Here are a few steps to fix the breakage : |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1) make sure that /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.* are gone. Portage 2.2_rc* users |
| 15 |
_should_ remove it as well. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2) run /usr/portage/x11-libs/libxcb/files/xcb-rebuilder.sh to fix .la |
| 18 |
files. If the tool reports broken packages, please read on. If not, |
| 19 |
lucky you, your system is ready to go :) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
3) run the following one liner to rebuild a simple, yet effective, |
| 22 |
subset of potentially broken packages. Do not worry, packages you don't |
| 23 |
have installed will not be installed. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
emerge --oneshot --nodeps \ |
| 26 |
$(for i in x11-proto/ x11-libs/libxcb x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXext \ |
| 27 |
x11-libs/libX x11-libs/xcb-util x11-libs/cairo \ |
| 28 |
x11-libs/pango x11-libs/gtk+ gnome-base/libgnomeui \ |
| 29 |
x11-libs/qt-gui; do \ |
| 30 |
qlist -IC $i; \ |
| 31 |
done) -pv |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
4) use revdep-rebuild (from app-portage/gentoolkit) to finish fixing the |
| 34 |
rest of your system. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I hope those instructions are clear enough. If not, please don't |
| 37 |
hesitate to let me know. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Oh and if someone with sufficient guidexml skills could xmlify these |
| 40 |
instructions, I would be very thankful :) |

Thanks for reading this. |
