Bug 80740 – x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 messing up with lib32 links /emul symlinks

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Simone Piunno 2005-02-04 09:32:37 UTC]

Apparently xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 tries to migrate /usr/X11R6/* to /usr.
This creates a lot of problems for amd64, cause we have lib32 symlinks pointing to the /emul tree.
After upgrading to 905 I've found myself with broken 32bit apps.

This is because now /usr/lib32 maps to /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib32

I tried to fix it: /usr/lib32 maps -> /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib32

But because /usr/X11R6/lib32 now is the same than /usr/lib32, it doesn't work.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge firefox-bin
2. upgrade xorg-x11


Actual Results:  
firefox doesn't work anymore (like all other -bin pkgs) 

Expected Results:  
xorg migration procedure should understand the multilib environment and avoid 
this mess

This is how I managed to get everything working again:

rm /usr/X11R6
mkdir /usr/X11R6
cd /usr/X11R6
ln -s ../bin
ln -s ../include
ln -s ../lib
ln -s ../lib64
ln -s ../../../emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib32
ldconfig

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-02-04 18:03:00 UTC]

Please fix the X11 emul stuff. I don't even understand exactly what the reporter's trying to say about fixing symlinks, because I have no familiarity with the emul libs.

If I'm doing something wrong in the migration regarding treatment of lib32, please let me know. Not symlinking the top-level /usr/X11R6 is not an option.

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-05 00:48:41 UTC]

I'll bump the libs with a fix tomorrow, for now, please put a !<=emul-x11-current_version in the DEPEND

[Comment 4 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-05 01:09:37 UTC]

fixed in -r4 of the emul libs.

[Comment 5 Simone Piunno 2005-02-05 05:42:02 UTC]

Sorry but the problem can't be just in the emul libs.

As I told you, after upgrading xorg I had

  /usr/lib32 -> /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib32

This is clearly wrong and this symlink has been put there by xorg-x11's migration scripts.  So you have to fix those, too!

[Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-05 11:15:12 UTC]

the migration script does that because X11R6/lib32 exists.  emul-r4 makes it not exist.
