Bug 296723 – dev-libs/DirectFB-1.4.2 breaks emacs, mozilla-firefox-bin and qingy

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Najib Idrissi 2009-12-13 13:23:30 UTC]

The recently stabilized dev-libs/DirectFB-1.4.2 breaks many things.

First, emacs and firefox-bin won't start; they complain because libdirectfb-1.2.0.so is missing. Re-emerging www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin doesn't fix it, and app-editors/emacs doesn't compile at all.

Secondly, qingy behaves weirdly. After re-emerging it (it also complained of the lack of .so), it started to get print two chars each time I pressed one key.

Masking dev-libs/DirectFB-1.4.2 (and downgrading) solved everything eventually.

Reproducible: Always

Actually downgrading didn't solve everything. The old 1.2.7 ebuild has been modified in such a way that INPUT_DEVICES_* use flags don't work anymore. No keyboard, no mouse. Yay.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2009-12-21 22:16:45 UTC]

read the postinst next time.  you need to run revdep-rebuild on a SONAME change.

as for INPUT_DEVICES, this is by design.  fix your USE expanded settings.

[Comment 3 Najib Idrissi 2009-12-22 08:46:32 UTC]

1) I ran revdep-rebuild and it didn't work. emacs didn't compile, qingy didn't work any better.

2) What do you call "USE expanded settings"? There are no input devices-related USE flags in the old ebuild.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2009-12-22 13:54:12 UTC]

the lack of options in the old ebuild isnt terribly relevant.  read `emerge -pv` and figure out which devices you need to add.

broken deps wrt old missing SONAME is not a bug in DirectFB.  your libs are broken and they need fixing (via revdep-rebuild or something similar).  ask on the forums for assistance if you cant quite figure it out.
