Prehaps nothing. Rebuild warning is triggered by a check for libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0, which didn't seem to exist on my system either. Guess "xcb" use-flag for libX11 is to blame: if it's not set, then older libX11 brought along it's own libxcb. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Since my browser got broken, too, this took some time.
And following that advice takes even much more time, since
I have to rebuild half of my system.
Luckily it has 4 cores,

Did you read the elog message when you emerged the new version?
libxcb-xlib.so is no longer shipped by ${PN} but was kept on your system
While your system will still work, emerging new packages or updates
will likely fail. You can fix broken libtool .la files by running :
${FILESDIR}/xcb-rebuilder.sh
To completely get rid of libxcb-xlib.so references, please read :

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 !!! And the messages coming with libxcb just don't help. revdep-rebuild doesn't help either. And one cannot remerge the broken packages either, since there configure bails out. Oh dear, Gentoo !
