44 Please rebuild xcb-utils after running through as much packages as
45 possible with revdep-rebuild. From irc discussions, it looks like
46 xcb links to itself and/or pollutes some la files which ends up in
47 these weird problems.
48
49 So merging a few manually from the revdep-rebuild list, the merging
50 xcb-util and repeating, eventually clears up everything.
