After upgrading some xorg packages yesterday (to up-to-date ~amd64), evince doesn't run anymore. % evince evince: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0: undefined symbol: _xcb_lock_io revdep-rebuild detects that linking failure and tries to emerge it anew.

I already tried recompiling libX11 (1.2.2) and libxcb (1.4), but the error remains.
Delete /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib* , it doesn't belong to new xcb
Or follow http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml Anyhow.. The problem is in your system.
Indeed, following the upgrade guide solved the issue. Sorry for the noise.
