[gentoo-user] libexpat issues

[Alan E. Davis]

I have seen alot of traffic elsewhere about libexpat and the
requirement to re-merge a large number of packages.  I have been
trying for a long time to re-merge them one at a time.  revdep-rebuild
does not give me a list of packages, and I have to wait for it to fail
on some package, one at a time, then re-install or delete, or whatever
before proceeding.

Is there anything I can do to shortcut this process?

Will I screw things up if I link libexpat.so.X to libexpat.so.0?

Hi,
Check Bug-128085 (IIRC) and upgrade to latest gentoolkit (eventually
plus the last Patch from the Bug). Plus one other Bug.
Don't link, ABI changed, recompile.

yes.

Some apps that you rebuild while this symlink is there, will complain and not 
run, when you remove it.

btw, revdep rebuilt found most packages in my case - only amarok and two or 
three others were missing....

Re-emerge fontconfig and XML-Parser and update to the latest gentoolkit.
then revdep-rebuild should handle the rest.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was
convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.
