[gentoo-user] Headsup: bad breakage from today's xcb update

[walt]

There is already a bug filed against xlibs/xcb*-0.3.8, and 0.3.6 has already
been removed from portage (a very bad decision).

The major problem is with libstartup-notification, which relies on a function
defined in xcb-util-0.3.6 and no longer exists in 0.3.8.

I'm going to try to recreate the ebuilds for 0.3.6, but meanwhile *don't* allow
xcb* to update to 0.3.8 if you depend on libstartup-notification.

Oops, my bad.  x11-libs/xcb-util has just been split into several packages with
the update to 0.3.8.

If, like me, you need to downgrade xcb-util back to 0.3.6 you must delete all of
the xcb*0.3.8 packages first or you will get file collision errors.

The real breakage is in the libstartup-notification package, which hasn't been
fixed yet and still depends on xcb-util-0.3.6.

Hi Volker.  I may be misunderstanding your post.  If I'm reading correctly,
you have all of the xcb-util-*-0.3.8 installed, as I did yesterday after the
routine update-world of my ~x86 and ~amd64 machines.

I had no problems building the xcb-util* updates, or even building the
libstartup-notification package.

The real problem is that libstartup-notification is expecting xcb-util to define
the function "xcb-atom-get", which AFAICT was eliminated from xcb-util-*-0.3.8.

#readelf -s libxcb-atom.so.1.0.0 | grep xcb_atom_get
     16: 000019e0   137 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get <====== THIS ONE
     28: 00001c90    42 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get_name_predefi
     32: 00001cc0   246 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get_name
     46: 00001b80   155 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get_fast
     68: 00001c20   107 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get_fast_reply
     83: 00001a70   271 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 xcb_atom_get_predefined

Can you find that symbol defined anywhere in xcb-util-*0.3.8?  I looked but I
couldn't find it and then deleted all of the xcb*-0.3.8 packages.

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks for your reply, Volker.

Yes, libxcb-atom was deleted by the upgrade to xcb-util-0.3.8, and, as
of this morning, x11-libs/startup-notification-0.10_p20110426 has the
fix for my missing-symbol problem :)
