Description Tres 'RiverRat' Melton 2005-07-05 02:24:18 UTC
Evolution 2.2.1.1 emerges fine but there are many errors in the form:
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libgconf-2.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: /usr/lib64/libpopt.la' seems to be moved

... but when I go to run it it says:
/usr/bin/evolution-2.2: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.3:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

locate libcom_err.so.3 yields:
/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3.0
/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. update my AMD64 system to evolution-2.2.1.1
2. /usr/bin/evolution
3. see details above

Actual Results:  
Failure

Expected Results:  
Success

Something needs to be added to the dependencies on AMD64 so that there is a
64bit version of libcom_err.so.3.

did you run `revdep_rebuild` from package `gentoolkit`?
Comment 2 Tres 'RiverRat' Melton 2005-07-05 14:08:47 UTC
This error is/was not specific to Evolution but Evolution was the first symptom.

libcom_err.so.3 got nuked somewhere.

revdep-rebuild didn't fix the problem.  Aprox. 100 things that linked against
libcom_err.so.3 were problems noted by revdep-rebuild and it could not repair
the system.  Many manual emerges, a couple of mask flag changes, and a few more
attempts with revdep-rebuild and most everything was fixed.

There were also two issues related to DirectFB and one to kio-http that
revdep-rebuild seems unable to correct.

The problem seemed to occur when I tried and failed to emerge with "maketest" in
FEATURES and then emerged without "maketest".  In the middle of that I emerged
many packages directly that were only emerged because they were a dependancy of
something else.  Somewhere in that process is a hiccup and I don't know what to
check for next.

This could also be related to another problem that I had that is detailed in Bug
#48181.

Anyway, this seems unrelated to Evolution so I'm going to ask on the mailing
list and close this bug
