i updated my openssl so all the packages that linked against the old openssl needed to be re-emerged ... so, i need to remerge gconf ... root@vapier gtetrinet # emerge gconf Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) gnome-base/gconf-2.2.0 to / >>> md5 ;-) GConf-2.2.0.tar.bz2 /usr/bin/gconftool-2: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory !!! ERROR: gnome-base/gconf-2.2.0 failed. !!! Function dyn_setup, Line 387, Exitcode 127 !!! pkg_setup function failed; exiting. interesting ... i need to re-emerge the package because its broken ... but i cant because its ... broken ? :)
Please download this ebuild http://twanger.dyndns.org/gconf-2.2.0.ebuild place it in /usr/portage/gnome-base/gconf , overwriting the old one. Then try to merge gconf and report success or failure. Thanks.
the simpler solution is to add 'return 0' to the end of kill_gconf() ... i didnt because i'm not a gnome guy and i'm not about to go editing gnome ebuilds ;)
Please go ahead and make the required change, as I don't yet have cvs set up. Thanks.
