• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2005-10-28 21:56:25 UTC]

After updating from gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.1 to gnome-extra/libgsf-1.13.2 GDM
(gnome-base/gdm-2.8.0.5) hang in a loop (using 99% CPU) on startup. Going back
to gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.1 fixed the problem.

hmm good catch. The problem is that the new version of libgsm changed the so
name. If you are currently running 1.13.2, You should run revdep-rebuild
--soname libgsf-1.so.1. I have added preserve_old_lib in the libgsf ebuild so
you can update smoothly to 1.13.2 adn then run revdep-rebuild. Thanks for the
quick report!

I ran revdep-rebuild before I opened this issue. revdep-rebuild only picked up
librsvg, but not gdm.
