I have just done a long overdue update on my system. I have run python-updater, I have run revdep-rebuild, however both Firefox and Epiphany crash. Both programs open the windows and appear to start rendering, then crash. I have re-emerged libpng. Fortunately, Seamonkey doesn't crash. The crashes give the following transcript: $ firefox --Profilemanager Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 582: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! Note that this was with a clean, brand new profile. This also shows the bug that was supposed to be fixed in Bug #348351, but I don't think that problem should result in a crash, so I think that this is a different problem. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.9.42 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome, gcc-4.4.4, libc-0-r0, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5generic x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5generic-x86_64-Intel-R-_Atom-TM-_CPU_330_@_1.60GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 01 May 2011 00:30:01 +0000 distcc[9807] (dcc_trace_version) distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu; built May 2 2011 04:47:16 [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r1, 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r9 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4, 4.4.4-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.36.1 sys-libs/glibc: 2.11.2-r3 virtual/os-headers: 0 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -Os -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en en_GB" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://gentoo-portage/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 amr apm berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr clearpasswd cli consolekit cracklib cups cxx dbus dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode evo exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gdu gif gimpprint gnome gnome-keyring gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hpcups hvm iconv imap ipod ipv6 jpeg lcms libnotify lm_sensors logrotate mad mbox mjpeg mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib nautilus ncurses nforce2 nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl pmu png policykit ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 readline samba sdl session spell sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg swat sysfs tcpd tiff truetype udev unicode usb v4l2 vcd vim-syntax vorbis wmf x264 xcb xen xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" 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" 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 keyboard mouse" 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="radeon nv nvidia vesa" 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, LC_ALL, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Firefox 2.Wait a few seconds 3.Observe crash.

Never mind. Unmerging googletalk-plugin resolved the issue.
