1 Hi,
2
3 as I have just bitten by it, have a look at
4 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285004
5
6 before upgrading to x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 (1.4.-r1)
7
8 since this breaks any X11-application (including your
9 browser to look at the URL above)
10
11 Such an update should be DOUBLY MASKED !!!
12
13 And the messages coming with libxcb just don't help.
14 revdep-rebuild doesn't help either.
15
16 And one cannot remerge the broken packages either,
17 since there configure bails out.
18
19 Oh dear, Gentoo !
20
21 Helmut.
