Bug 114235 – kde upgrade cause some apps to stop working or to crash.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2005-12-02 01:12:28 UTC]

Hello.

I have this issue both on x86 and on amd64 archs. After I've upgreaded kde from
3.4.x->3.5.x kile start to crash when I try to view dvi. These messages I see in
console:
KCrash: Application 'kile' crashing...
Unable to start Dr. Konqi

And also I see dialog window Error: No multipage found.

Workaround is to recompile kile.

Also seems that there are problems with amarok. May be other apps also affected.

The main problem I see (and that is the reason to mark this but as cri) is that
revdep-rebuild does not see any errors in dynamic linking even after unmerging
of all packages related to previous version of kde. Seems that there is no way
to find broken apps and either I have to emerge -e world any time I update some
parts of kde or sometimes I'll have to encouter strange problems. Strange
because kile is not completely broken, but only some parts of it do not work
(for example compilation and postscript preview works!!!).

I think it's necessary to find solution how to find which apps need to be
recompiled.

Thank you for your time,
Peter.

Did you change GCC version, maybe? 

[Comment 2 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 04:30:17 UTC]

Hm. I think no. On my x86 laptop I've moved to gcc-3.4.4 long time ago. And I've
done emerge -e world after that. More on amd64 gcc-3.4 was in stable for long time.

Ok. may be emerge --info will help:

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2006-01-06 09:01:31 UTC]

Hm. I'm still trying to understand what caused the issue.

I found this post in -dev:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/33814

So may be the problem is that *.la files were not updated?

[Comment 4 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2006-05-31 09:57:51 UTC]

Maybe kile was still linking to kdelibs-3.4 but you used it in a 3.5 session?
Or you recompiled kile against 3.5 but used it in a 3.4 session?

(In reply to comment #4)
> Maybe kile was still linking to kdelibs-3.4 but you used it in a 3.5 session?

Yes. kile was compiled against kde-3.4. The bug is not the crash itself, but silence of revdep-rebuild (after complete unmerged kde-3.4!)

[Comment 6 Jaak Ristioja 2006-06-27 04:10:51 UTC]

It seems that KDE directories (under /usr/kde) are not included in the SEARCH_DIRS variable in /etc/revdep-rebuild/99revdep-rebuild by default.
