Bug 275438 – app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.7: update removes /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description parafin 2009-06-25 21:38:25 UTC]

Actually summary says it all. libdri.so is needed fo DRI obviously, without it X log says:
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module dri
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
...skipped...
(EE) intel(0): [dri] I830CheckDRIAvailable failed: dri not loaded

As I understand it, new 1.0.7 version of eselect-opengl assumes that libdri.so resides in /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/ like libglx.so and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so is a symlink, so it deletes it when called from postinst function of it's own ebuild. In the reality the real library is deleted.
BTW I'm using x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.7
2. restart X

Actual Results:  
DRI is gone

Expected Results:  
DRI should stay

re-emerging xorg-server doesn't help either, because eselect opengl is called there too.

In file /usr/share/eselect/modules/opengl.eselect change line 

					for file in lib{wfb,glx,dri}.{a,so,la}; do

to

					for file in lib{wfb,glx}.{a,so,la}; do

ebuild which applies the patch

[Comment 6 Russell Knighton 2009-07-13 16:09:20 UTC]

I agreed that this seems to be an issue - so until it is fixed properly, use attached dri patch and and replacement ebuild.

[Comment 7 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-08-20 09:47:44 UTC]

It is fixed in anything above 1.5.3-r7.
Won't backport it specialy when the 1.4 is going to disappear really soon.
