The current stable version of mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin (1.5.0.9) requires app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.8.8 and is incompatible with app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.10.6.3 (current stable version) the current ebuild for mozilla-thunderbird-bin allows for this upgrade but it breaks pango (thunderbird-bin:32079): Pango-WARNING **: /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Basically the new emulation libraries install to pange/1.5.0 ...so are not found I have not tried linking libraries or anything like that yet. Downgrading the emulation gtklibs to 2.8.8 solves the problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From a clean install (amd64) emerge mozilla-thunderbird-bin 2. This will pull in the current stable version of emul-linux-x86-gtklibs 3. try saving an attachment from an email, you will see squared in stead of an actual font (If you already have a version of emul-linux-x86-gtklibs installed, you'ld have to uninstall it, or upgrade it to see the problem) Actual Results: The text in dialog boxes is broken Expected Results: You should see the text and not just box characters
My guess is that you could simply modify line 42 of the ebuild the logic needs to be something like ( >=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.1 AND <app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.10 ) or...based on the actual packages available in portage just: <app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.10
wait a second, I might be completely wrong, I think it might be an issue of not updating a conf file with etc-update...I'll do some more checking, but I think this was my fault, sorry...I'll post back when I double check
