One of the recent updates I emerged on two of my systems seem to have broken mysql-administrator. Here is what I get after connecting to my mysql server: therion ~ # LC_ALL="C" mysql-administrator terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gdk::PixbufError' /usr/bin/mysql-administrator: line 103: 22059 Aborted $PRG-bin $args therion ~ # I allready did a revdep-rebuild on both systems and also manually rebuild all direct dependencies of mysql-gui-tools. I'm currently lost as to what is causing this... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update world 2. run mysql-administrator 3. connect to mysql server 4. application crashes therion ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc8 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.1, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r2-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_4400+-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r3 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks parallel-fetch preserve-libs sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="de" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/energizedwork" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="16bit 3dnow 3dnowext X aac acl acpi aim alsa amd64 arts avahi bash-completion berkdb big-tables branding browserplugin cairo cdr cdrom cjk cli cpudetection cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dhcp directfb divx dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss enblend encode esd evo exif fam fbcon fbcondecor fbdev fbsplash firefox flac fontconfig foomaticdb fortran gconf gdbm gif glitz glut gmedia gmp gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk hal hddtemp iconv idn imap ipv6 isdnlog java java5 java6 javascript jpeg jpeg2k kde kdehiddenvisibility kerberos kipi ldap libnotify lm_sensors logitech-mouse mad matroska max-idx-128 mdnsresponder-compat midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng moonlight mozdevelop mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap musicbrainz mysql nat ncurses nforce2 nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg openal opengl openmp oss pam parport pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline realmedia reflection resolvconf sdl sensord session sift spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl subversion svg svgz tcpd theora tiff truetype type1 unicode urandom usb utempter vorbis wmp xattr xcomposite xml xorg xulrunner xv yahoo zeroconf zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv vesa vga fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
The most recent update is from many months ago and was the removal of this package from the Gentoo repository.
At least in the parallel universe I live in this isn't true. It might help not just reading the summary of this bug, but also the description where I clearly state that I rebuild "mysql-gui-tools" and all of its dependencies to try to fix the issue. Just give it a try yourself: USE="administrator" emerge mysql-gui-tools You might be surprised to find a tools called mysql-administrator on your system afterwards. Reading Changelog of mysql-gui-tools say the last update was just a few days ago so it most probably wasn't removed month ago: 17 Aug 2008; Michael Sterrett <mr_bones_@gentoo.org> -files/mysql-gui-tools-5.0_p12-workbench-lua.patch, mysql-gui-tools-5.0_p12-r2.ebuild: remove workbench references since lua-5.0 is gone. So my question is this: Why do you require users to completly fill out the bug report if you don't even care about reading all the stuff written in here? So let's go back to square one and try the game of bug reporting once again.
It seems to me like maybe this was caused by DirectFB-1.2.2 as an update to DirectFB-1.2.3 seems to have resolved the issue. (Thus it wasn't even a direct dependency causing it.) I'm closing this bug as it now works for me again just fine. Thanks everyone for this bugzilla experiences.
Sorry for the spamming - but I tested things on my second system and it turns out it wasn't DirectFB causing the issue but media-libs/libpng-1.2.30. An update to media-libs/libpng-1.2.31_rc01 resolved the issue.
