This emerges (amongst others): xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.9.1 installing /usr/lib/libxfce4utils.so.6 x11-terms/terminal-0.4.8 installing /usr/bin/Terminal However, that version of terminal requires to link with libxfce4utils.so.4 so it won't run. It seems there is a mismatch between the version of the shared library that is required by Terminal, and that which is actually installed by portage. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.10.56 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.14.1-r3, 3.3.2-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.3.2-gentoo-i686-Intel-R-_Atom-TM-_CPU_N280_@_1.66GHz-with-gentoo-2.1 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:15:01 +0000 ccache version 3.1.7 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.2_p24 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.3, 3.2.2-r1 dev-util/ccache: 3.1.7 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.7-r5 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.9.3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r3 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.3 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.14.1-r3 Repositories: gentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -mtune=native -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" 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/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -mtune=native -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs ccache distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch xattr" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo " LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j4 -s" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi alsa autoipd avahi berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cli consolekit cracklib cups cxx dbus disk-partition doc dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr emboss encode esd exif extras fam ffmpeg firefox flac fontconfig fortran gdbm gdu gif glibc-omitfp gpm gtk iconv imap jadetex java jpeg kpathsea lame lcms ldap libnotify lzma lzo mad mmap mms mmx mmxext mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg msn mudflap musepack mythtv ncurses networkmanager nls nntp npp nptl nptlonly odbc ogg opengl openmp oscar oss pam pango pcre pdf png policykit ppds pppd pulseaudio qt3support qt4 quicktime readline rss ruby sdl session slang spell sql sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs taglib tcpd theora threads tiff truetype udev unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vim-syntax vnc vorbis wavpack webkit wifi win32codecs wmf wxwidgets x264 x86 xattr xcb xcomposite xine xml xorg xpm xulrunner xv xvid yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel" 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 cgi cgid 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" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_GB" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel fbdev vesa vga" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON
Comment #0 doesn't seem to describe the actual problem at all as x11-terms/terminal builds without patches against the new libxfce4util out of box and revdep-rebuild` will catch it as normal. $ emerge -pv libxfce4util x11-terms/terminal [ebuild R ] xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.9.1 USE="-debug" 0 kB [ebuild R ] x11-terms/terminal-0.4.8 USE="dbus -debug" 0 kB $ objdump -p /usr/bin/Terminal | grep 4util NEEDED libxfce4util.so.6
Doh. revdep-rebuild fixed it. Sorry.
