I didn't have any big problem neither. After uprading to libxcb-1.4 a lot of packages failed to compile. I searched for warning messages with elogv, followed the upgrade guide and now all is fine. regards, Boris On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 11:31, Nikos Chantziaras rea...@arcor.de wrote: On 09/15/2009 10:35 AM, Helmut Jarausch wrote: Hi, as I have just bitten by it, have a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285004 before upgrading to x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 (1.4.-r1) since this breaks any X11-application (including your browser to look at the URL above) Such an update should be DOUBLY MASKED !!!
