Bug 142381 – kopete 0.11.3 (kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.4) confused by outdated .la files

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90744
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2006-08-01 00:34:40 UTC]

kopete is confused by old .la files.

When attempting to add a jabber account, a dialog showing "Cannot load the Jabber protocol plugin." appeared.

In an strace -fe trace=open kopete the follow occured at the same time.

open("/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la", O_RDONLY) = 14
open("/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory


The installation places
/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.so
/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la

/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la exists with no owner(?)

# equery belongs /usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la in *... ]
(nothing)

seems to be a 3.1 legacy
from /usr/lib/kde3/kopete_jabber.la
> dependency_libs=' -R/usr/kde/3.1/lib

removing usr/lib/kde3/kopete* and it worked ok.

Can this be automated?

Not a KDE problem, fix_libtool_files.sh orphans these files.
