Description Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2021-09-15 05:32:31 UTC 
Running under a stripped down env I get the following errors on startup.

> XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libxul.so:
> libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> Couldn't load XPCOM.

Meaning the ebuild lacks an explicit rdep on x11-libs/libXcursor.

> XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libxul.so:
> libXi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> Couldn't load XPCOM.

And another on x11-libs/libXi.

A suggestion to track rdeps going forward, I'd run something like

> scanelf -L -n -q -F '%n #F' /opt/firefox/libxul.so | tr , ' ' | xargs qfile -C | sort -u

and against any other relevant binary objects alongside doing a simple run check of some type. I'm sure there are probably some dev scripts that help/aid with this as well.

I forgot to mention, this was using 92.0-r1 but I imagine it's probably relevant for most older versions as well.

(iwdevtools works well for this: https://github.com/ionenwks/iwdevtools; https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/2d3b455009176b54b5506173b16383f5).

Comment 4 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-09-15 21:53:06 UTC 
I am very that this is not a direct firefox dep (can't check right now). It may be depend on USE flags for some deps and bin package upstream is probably always requiring USE=wayland...
Comment 5 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2021-09-15 22:04:02 UTC 
The three are in DT_NEEDED for firefox-bin's libxul.so itself.

Not the case for non-bin www-client/firefox which I'd guess is --as-needed discarding.

so I've just hit this during src_configure of firefox-92.0.1, the configure scripts certainly checks for it:

 0:48.12 ERROR: to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 0:48.12 ERROR: Package 'xcursor', required by 'virtual:world', not found

if the so files don't make use of it, it might be an upstream bug? 

emerging x11-libs/libXcursor solves the error
