In case it helps, here's a concise list of updates since pidgin last worked: sys-libs/timezone-data-2009u to sys-libs/timezone-data-2010b dev-libs/glib-2.20.5-r1 to dev-libs/glib-2.22.4 dev-libs/atk-1.26.0 to dev-libs/atk-1.28.0 dev-cpp/glibmm-2.20.1 to dev-cpp/glibmm-2.22.1 x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.60 to x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.70 dev-cpp/pangomm-2.24.0 to dev-cpp/pangomm-2.26.0 app-text/recode-3.6_p15-r1 to app-text/recode-3.6_p16 x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 to x11-libs/gtk+-2.18.6 dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.16.0 to dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.18.2 dev-libs/apr-1.3.9 to dev-libs/apr-1.3.9 Overnight, I did an emerge -ave pidgin Now pidgin appears to start, but with the following warning: sys:1: Warning: value "-1216374009" of type `gint' is invalid or out of range for property `weight' of type `gint' I probably didn't have to rebuild all 278 of those packages to get pidgin working again --probably if I just rebuilt a few of the correct packages, I'd be set-- but I didn't like being cut of from IMing. It'd be nice to know which packages needs to be rebuilt specifically and I hope anyone else who has this problem can figure it out without rebuilding most of her/his world. BTW, someone was kind enough to CC me on Bug #297483, which appears related. So if anyone else has this problem, it might be a good idea to check there too. I'm not sure if this bug should be closed or not now; can someone more experienced advise? Thank you for report. Currently I'll close it as NEEDINFO since personally I'm unable to reproduce this problem and it's not enough information here to do anything. Let's see if anybody has something to add here. |
