Starting last night several builds and programs are crashing due to problems in libxcb and others.
My system is ~amd64. For example evolution fails to start and says gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ evolution evolution: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-aux.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ There is no libxcb-aux now on my system nor is there an libxcb-atom, which revdep rebuild mentioned. openoffice (picked up by revdep-rebuild) fails to build saying checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for libwpd-0.8 ... Package libwpd-0.8 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libwpd-0.8.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libwpd-0.8' found configure: error: Library requirements (libwpd-0.8 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. I looked (using locate) and I have libwpd-0.9.1 now. Should I downgrade to lib0.8.14? Another problem, perhaps not related, but occurring at the same time is that xlsclients-1.1.1 (also picked up by revdep-rebuild) fails to build with >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in >>> /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1 ... >>> Working in BUILD_DIR: >>> "/var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1_build" make --jobs --load-average=5 make all-am make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1_build' CC xlsclients.o GEN xlsclients.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -Wbad-function-cast -Wformat=2 -Wold-style-definition -Wdeclaration-after-statement -march=native -O2 -pipe -c /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1/xlsclients.c /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1/xlsclients.c: In function ‘print_client_properties’: /var/tmp/portage/x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.1/work/xlsclients-1.1.1/xlsclients.c:542:8: error: ‘WM_CLIENT_MACHINE’ undeclared (first use in this function) Something must have gone quite wrong in my last update world. Advice would be appreciated. thanks, allan
