Re: [gentoo-amd64] hal, dbus and ivman

[Steve Herber]

There are a lots of bugs posted about this problem.
This one describes your problem:

 	http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120138

The ivman ebuild hard codes hal-0.4.8 which forces the old api
in dbus-023.4.  Next time you try to update, the hal-0.5.5.1.r3 and
dbus-0.60-r3 versions are detected as newer.  The dbus api has changed
with the newest dbus and ivman needs the old version of the api.

But if you run revdep-rebuild to fix this you get upgraded to qt version
4 then you have this problem:

Which is where my system fails.  It seems to be a qt problem with int,
long, long long definitions not matching the amd64 standard which is
why we are seeing the problem.  There is a patch on the qt site but I
haven't tried to apply it yet.
