Hi Jakob,
It looks like the actual fix should be to replace the (horribly
outdated) LibUUID with util-linux.
See also https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/6807
for example.
Jakob: are you up for trying that, i.e.:
* replace the LibUUID dependency in fontconfig-2.13.0-GCCcore-7.3.0.eb
to with util-linux v2.32.1
* rebuild X11 on top of that changed fontconfig
* check whether the problem is fixed
regards,
Kenneth

Thanks for the reference. Unfortunately, I have no clue what they are talking
about in that thread. :-(
Is the LibUUID module included to work around the bug they mention there?

This was discussed on the mailing list recently (see

needs to open a PR...

Dear all,
We use matplotlib with Tkinter support. Until foss/2018a that worked just
fine, but with foss/2018b it causes a module named LibUUID to be loaded. That
library breaks a lot of programs, for example it causes Emacs to crash. It
also causes errors like this from the MPI stack:
[x049.nifl.fysik.dtu.dk:12411] mca_base_component_repository_open: unable to
open mca_mtl_psm:
/home/modules/software/LibUUID/1.0.3-GCCcore-7.3.0/lib/libuuid.so.1: version
`UUID_1.0' not found (required by /lib64/libpsm_infinipath.so.1) (ignored)
I don’t know why this library is being loaded by X11/20180604-GCCcore-7.3.0 but
not by X11/20180131-GCCcore-6.4.0
Somehow, I guess the underlying real problem is that EasyBuild relies on
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find shared libraries, instead of compiling with
-Wl,-rpath=XXX. It will invariably cause breakage like this, where one module
points to a folder containing a library with the same name as another program
expects to find elsewhere. But that may be very difficult to fix, getting rid
of LibUUID might be a good start. :-)
Best regards
Jakob
