> this works, Thanks, yes. Again with the disclaimer that I do kde not gnome and thus am unlikely to have a clue on gnome-specific issues, so the below is pretty general gentoo boilerplate, not really specific to your issue... The immediately obvious question is that given the problem appeared right after an update, did you do a revdep-rebuild and an emerge --depclean after your update? It's possible you need to rebuild something else against the newly installed package, and portage didn't catch it and do the rebuild automatically as the version deps for what you need to rebuild aren't yet that strict. Revdep-rebuild can catch and rebuild many such packages, tho it's gradually becoming less and less necessary as version deps are updated to include the previously missing deps information (only newer EAPIs allow specifying it properly, and particularly people on stable will likely still have a number of older packages that don't have the newer and stricter deps specified). Depclean simply tells portage to clean up any old packages that are no longer required by anything in @world but that haven't been uninstalled yet. As long as you run it regularly, you should have everything you want in @world and it won't clean up anything you obviously need, but if you have an install you've been updating for awhile without running depclean, be sure to do a --pretend or --ask first, and carefully check what it wants to remove, in case there's something in there you actually do want to keep. If so, you can add that to @world, and depclean won't try to remove it any longer. Also, do you do --deep updates, or not? Skipping --deep will mean less normally unnecessary updates to dependencies, but will occasionally miss a necessary one, if there's a mistake in the specified deps for a package. Be aware that if you don't normally do --deep and try it, you'll likely have quite a long list of updates. You can either just let them happen, or pick thru the list manually, updating anything that looks like it might be related to your problem, while leaving the rest alone. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
