... And if that doesn't work, do a revdep-rebuild. Of course try a -p run |
| 16 |
first to get an idea of what it's going to rebuild. Something you have is |
| 17 |
still linked against an old libexpat, thus creating the issue. By |
| 18 |
unmerging or updating that, you should eliminate the problem, allowing |
| 19 |
pango to update in turn. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Note that it's possible you'll have to update what you can, skipping |
| 22 |
packages that fail the first round, then try it again. expat is a widely |
| 23 |
used dependency, so you may have several layers of dependencies and have |
| 24 |
to loop the list multiple times, building what can be built each time |
| 25 |
while skipping what can't, until it's all done. That isn't normally |
| 26 |
necessary as revdep-rebuild should get the correct order, but sometimes it |
| 27 |
doesn't, for one reason or another. If that happens, continuing on with |
| 28 |
packages that will compile, then looping the loop to pick up the others, |
| 29 |
seems to work quite well, here. |
