Bug 285819 – app-text/evince and x11-libs/libxcb-1.4-r1 build failure

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mario Bachmann 2009-09-21 11:00:03 UTC]

After upgrading to x11-libs/libxcb-1.4-r1, i unmerged gnome. 
Than i set USE="xcb" in the make conf, recompiled cairo, pango and mesa and reemerged app-text/evince-2.26.2.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to libxcb-1.4-r1 (with the guide)
2. emerge evince

Actual Results:  
emerge fails with "undefined reference".

Expected Results:  
evince should compile. 

from the end of the build.log of evince:
/usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0: undefined reference to `_xcb_unlock_io'
/usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0: undefined reference to `_xcb_lock_io'

Please set the correct mime type with attachments please, and try to send them as plain text if bugzilla allows it.

Did you follow _all_ the steps in the upgrade guide?

Thanks

This is a typical failure you see when the rebuild is incomplete, I say close invalid.

[Comment 5 Mario Bachmann 2009-09-21 12:07:28 UTC]

i followed the guide http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml and i did revdep-rebuild. 

what is incomplete? 

"I say close invalid." - a joke?

[Comment 6 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-09-21 12:50:05 UTC]

@Mario, could you run xcb-rebuilder.sh again and attach its full output here?

@Gilles, there's a tiny chance Mario might have a circular dep problem here. I just want to look into it before closing it.

Thanks

Please get back us, about the build.log's mime type :
- Don't attach a compressed file.
- in "Create a New Attachment", have a look to "select from list" and choice "plain-text" as mime type.

thanks

So i must recompile all the listed packages after "Broken packages:" ?

Yes you should rebuild those packages but the steps in the guide tell you how.

You need to follow what _all_ the steps in the guide, not only those that you like.

Please continue doing what the guide says after running xcb-rebuilder.sh and you should be just fine.

Thanks

[Comment 12 Mario Bachmann 2009-09-21 17:38:38 UTC]

evince compiled now. 

sorry, i do not see where the guide tells me that i should rebuild the packages reported by xcb-rebuilder.sh. 

beside, i expected that a script named rebuilder do a rebuild and not only a report. otherwise i would expect a script named xcb-broken-report. 

the guide is bad OR my english is bad... :-)

[Comment 13 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-09-21 17:45:26 UTC]

From the guide : 

"The tool will also report whether shared libraries (.so files, usually located in /lib and /usr/lib) still reference the now defunct library. If the tool reports broken packages, please read on. If not, lucky you, your system is ready to go :) "

I'm not sure if it can be any clearer.

Thanks

[Comment 14 Mario Bachmann 2009-09-21 17:56:39 UTC]

If the tool reports broken packages -> TRUE
please read on -> DONE

no word that i should emerge broken_packages_listed_by_xcb-rebuilder.sh .

conclusion: today i missed two jokes.
