Upgrading gnome-base/nautilus broke Galeon[SOLVED]

gentsquash · What confuses me is that gnome-system-tools-1.1.91 is not on my system:

[edit]The title was
A non-installed Blocker?
I've changed the title to more closely reflect what worked for me.
It is possible that the error was mine somehow, rather than
Portage's way of upgrading emerge gnome-base/nautilus.[/edit]

I can no longer run Galeon (file "libnautilus.so.2" is missing;
BTWay, what pkg is it in?), and in trying to fix things with
`revdep-rebuild' I get this:

You're right; I did miss the "<". I had previously done

Thank you overkll.
As you suggested, I did the removal and re-install, and that
worked.

I'm still having revdep-rebuild fail; I'm missing the
libnautilus.so.2
library file, apparently.

Could I trouble you (or anyone) to do a

Just from looking at the file I'd say it is supplied by the nautilus package.....

I'm trying emerge gnome-base/nautilus even as we "speak";
thanks overkll.

Two questions:
How could I have found what pkg owns "libnautilus.so.2", when I
no longer have the file on my system? (The `qpkg -fp' does not
find it, OMYSystem.)

Secondly, could this whole mess have been caused by the fact
that my "world" file has
gnome-base/gnome-light rather than the full
GNOME? Should I put
gnome-base/nautilus in "world", do you think?

No cigar yet. The emerge gnome-base/nautilus worked,
but still `revdep-rebuild' complains about missing
libnautilus.so.2, and `qpkg -fp' doesn't find it.

Could I trouble you to do a

I think there are shortcomings with all of the gentoolkit apps with regards to finding an uninstalled package, but I could be wrong. qpkg seems to work well for me. There is an option flag to check uninstalled packages, but I think it is limited when used in combination with other flags. See "man qpkg" for details.

In regards to the "gnome-light" issue, I dont' know. I never have to fiddle with my world file and I've never used the gnome-light package. Are you trying to upgrade from gnome-light to gnome, or is this just an update of gnome-light? If it's just an upgrade of gnome-light, portage should know what to install/replace. Maybe gnome-light didn't need nautilus and now it does? If you are switching to gnome from gnome-light, that could explain the missing packages, but again I'd think that portage would pull in the dependancies.

Our messages crossed.
The `genlop' cmd tells me that I emerged gnome-base/nautilus;
but still I can't find libnautilus.so.2.

Do several full-pathnames match
libnautilus.so.2? (Could you post any/all,
please?) Is it possible that there are two library files with the
same "last name", so to speak?

Is there a site where I can simply get the binary for
libnautilus.so.2, to directly install it?

Sure, sorry I didn't do it earlier as requested. Here you go.

Thank you, overkll.
I downgraded to gnome-base/nautilus-2.8.2-r1
and that seems to have removed most/all of the problem. It has a
libnautilus.so.2
whereas gnome-base/nautilus-2.8.2-r1 does not appear to.

You're welcome gentsquash. Your posts are clear, concise and well formated. Makes it easy to help.

Yes, one must be careful with -uD.

Experience is the best teacher. I used to trust all updates. Until I encountered a major package that apparently hadn't been tested.

overkll · Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 4:03 pm Post subject:

Professor,

I wanted to try gnome 2.10, so I took the plunge last night with emerge -uD. Intalled all the new gnome related packages. Everything worked, except a minor issue with gnome terminal not customizing the bash prompt with "host user" which was easily fixed.

esync'd this moring and guess what? Look what emerge -uDp world shows....

gentsquash · Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 7:05 pm Post subject:

overkll, do you run Galeon? --if so, did it work after your upgrade?
Does this "-r1" GNOME have the libnautilus.so.2 library file?

(BTWay, I see that gnome-light was just updated today --I'm going to take
your advice and wait a while...)

As an aside, I discovered that Firefox would run; it did not use
libnautilus.so.2.
