lafilefixer --justfixit somewhere in the mix just for good measure.
Am I just extremely lucky or something?
libpng was installed, slotted on Tuesday May 11 nothing broke.
Didn't run lafilefixer, but did run revdep-rebuild a few times
and two deep world updates since then.
Should I let my breath out now, or should I not be surprised
if this "problem" hits a few weeks down the road?
My experience spread over 2 days was fairly straightforward.
(1) Emerged Libpng 1.4.3 ; (2) 'revdep-rebuild' showed 42 rebuilds,
some of which wouldn't compile ; (3) 'lafilefixer --justfixit' helped ;
(4) 'r-r' showed a much shorter list ; (5) KDE (3 or 4) wouldn't start,
so re-merge Qt3 Kdelibs3& Ksokoban Kmahjongg3 Kworldclock ;
(6) re-merged Qt4 (9 pkgs) Kdelibs4 Speedcrunch ; (7) along the way,
a few other pkgs needed re-merging, eg Openmotif for Xpdf ;
(8) Xulrunner& Openoffice were listed by 'r-r', but seem ok asis ;
(9) I deleted the Libpng '12' lib, which is now obsolete.
HTH anyone else updating: just allow a few hours for re-merging.
I'm not alone then. My KDE wouldn't start either. Actually, kdm
wouldn't start. Sort of have to have one to get to the other. I didn't
like the idea of not having my GUI either. :-(
I didn't run lafilefixer on mine but all my packages compiled on the
first try. I had 45 or so to compile on here. Weird. I was expecting
at least one to fail.
