One would think that revdep-rebuild would catch the problem, but maybe it didn't in your case. Or... you've rerun revdep-rebuild and got a clean- system report, and rebooted since then, just to be sure, right? (True, this is Linux and a reboot shouldn't really be necessary if you know how to flush everything currently running, but it remains the easiest way to be sure when remote troubleshooting.) If revdep-rebuild is saying you are fine, you rebooted so you /know/ everything is flushed since then, and you are /still/ getting the problem, then I'd say it's time to file a bug, since either revdep- rebuild is not seeing something it should, or your loader (ld.so, part of glibc) is screwing up. The latter could be due to a screwed up ldcache, due to screwed up library search paths, but then even more so, there's a Gentoo bug somewhere with the library search paths infrastructure and it needs fixed. It's also possible you could trace and resolve the missing symbols to a particular library and then it to a package manually. That's what I'd try, but I'm not up to trying to explain how ATM... Actually, what I could (and did) do here, some time ago when I had similar problems and did have GNOME-VFS merged, was kill the gnome-vfs USE flags stuff, since I'm not a GNOME user anyway. You could /try/ killing it for totem and/or its dependencies and see how far you get, but I'm guessing that's not a way you want to go. I wouldn't blame you if you're a GNOME fan. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
