That has nothing to do with libexpat and is a known bug in revdep-rebuild, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32276

i don't have the exact ebuild of kdeaddons-3.5.0 in portage but there are other versions of it ..

the output also said "- use -X or --package-names as first argument (trys to rebuild package, not exact ebuild)"

so i ran "revdep-rebuild -X" but the same thing happened

I think you could simply emerge -1 kde-base/kdeaddons before revdep-rebuild.

hello,

yet another victim of expat. :(

i have masked expat 2, downgrade it, and tried to emerge all my kde-based stuff like many here. but it is not allowing me to re-emerge my stuff because the expat thing is still screwing things up! how did you guys do it and how do i fix it?

Code:

Simply remerge everything what breaks, that's all.
I did it.
Which package is not available anymore (revdep cannot find it), should be updated.

well add -Wl,--as-needed to your linker-flags and emerge -e world :)
you'll never exeprience such system-breakdown anymore, it's that easy - there is nothing in kde, which really depends on expat, as long as I know.

what is a 'linker flag' and how would i use it? i did a search and all the results returned that contain words is from return codes. sorry that i had to ask, i am still very newbie-ish.

is that something i add to the command line or something i add to the /etc/make.conf file?

this is what I have in my /etc/make.conf
Code:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"

the original --as-needed thread on gentoo-forums
the bug-tracker for the failing packages
the flameeyes' qa article explaining how to fix packages, failin with --as-needed
hope this helps :)

i did 'emerge -e world' and some programs still fail to run. those that can run fail to run properly.

here's an example:
Code:
conky: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


looks like expat is still screwing me after the long hours of emerging all my stuff.

which version of expat do you have installed now?
what is the output of
readelf -d /usr/bin/conky
I suppose that you haven't installed sth without the portage?
the second thing is that you could try the script, in this thread to see which applications link to libexpat

Code:
0x00000001 (NEEDED) [libexpat.so.1]


along with many things that are under (NEEDED) too! like libSM.so.6, libICE.so.6, libglib-2.0.so.0. just typing a few since i cannot use the browser in my gentoo. therefore, i can't copy and paste.

no, the net is working now. so i can use portage. but my browser along with many things are broken.

as far as i am concerned, all programs are not running properly.

Have you re-emerged -e world with the as-needed ldflag, it is impossible to have this behaviour, it could have two explanations:
you are not using the --as-needed or somehow emerge -e world has failed to re-emerge some packages.
re-emerge them with emerge -D1 and see what happens.

yes, i used the as-needed ldflag.

it appears that programs will work only if i unmerge it, and then emerge it all over it again. some stuff continue to run after i have exited x with ctrl+alt+backspace. i know this, because in shell, error messages keep on showing up line after line.

thank you for trying to help. but i think i just had enough of it, this is day 5 and my system is still screwed up.

this expat thing is the biggest pos i ever expierenced in computer problems.

i think it is far better and faster if i torn down my entire system and reinstall it all over again!

like many said: expat 2.0.0 should be hard masked! and the developers should be hanged by the balls.

Which developers? The expat ones? Then you wouldn't have had expat 1 or expat 2, and the world would be a worse place. See my earlier posts for why we (as gentoo users) have any right to limit the expat ones.
The gentoo ones? And then you wouldn't have gentoo. If you can be bothered to read the bugzilla report on this upgrade, you will understand the reason why things have been done the way they have. If you can think of a better way, I'm sure they'll be delighted to hear it.

As far as I can tell expat-2 is still ~'d. If you can't cope with using ~ packages, don't do it. Nobody is forcing you.

Calm down. Grow up. Or remember to put a smiley in :wink:

Well i can understand him (although i have to say that the words he used are ABSOLUTELY not okey), when i TRIED to upgrade expat there was NO einfo msg in the ebuild (they put this in AFTER many ppl complained about borking their system by upgrading expad) and pow my system was fucked. X was gone... VERY ANNOYING

I do think that quite alot of packages are put into portage without doin REALLY proper testing. Have seen alot during my two years of gentoo...

But honestly if everybody would keep to this we wouldn't have so many fights/insults... here, and we could all stick to the important things like solving problems...

There is realy easy way to upgrade to new expat without disabling almost complete system set for day or two to rebuild packages depends on it. Before upgrade to 2.0.0 copy libexpat* from /usr/lib/ to /usr/local/lib and make ldconfig. Now upgrade to 2.0.0

Now all packages that use old libexpat would use version from /usr/local/lib, but emerge would use new version from /usr/lib. This way you can still use your system when rebuilding KDE, Gnome, etc. After revdep-rebuild when all packages use new version just delete libexpat from /usr/local/lib and that all.

I made the symlink as was mentioned on page one of this thread. I know this was not a good idea, but i needed a fix. Now my X is messed up. For example when i browse i often see the background colors instead of the fonts. I tried to fix it with revdep-rebuild, but still the same problem.

This is a fresh installed gentoo on an amd64. It was just installed for one day and now i run into this problem :).

can someone help me out, this problem is a bit complicated for me.

ps i use gnome and followed the steps i saw laurelin make. However this was after i had made a simlink.

There is realy easy way to upgrade to new expat without disabling almost complete system set for day or two to rebuild packages depends on it. Before upgrade to 2.0.0 copy libexpat* from /usr/lib/ to /usr/local/lib and make ldconfig. Now upgrade to 2.0.0


damn good idea, much more sensible than symlinking files with different ABIs

This should be in the einfo message!

Many thanks. 8)

Hi!

This also worked for me.

How comes this issue is to be solved since March??! 8O At least that's the date of the first post of this topic.

Thanks again for this "solution" :wink:

i fixed this problem by running revdep-rebuild. revdep-rebuild listed packages that were missing dependencies. for me, revdep-rebuild failed after this step. then i manually emerged all the packaged listed in revdep-rebuild.

I recently emerged expat-2.0.0, and the woes since doing so refuse to cease. First thing after the emerge I ran revdep-rebuild -X --library=libexpat.so.0, it failed on the first package, gtk+, because it complained about a missing expat.so.0 during the emerge. Someone suggested remerging neon, I did so, and emerged mplayer successfully, but mplayer refuses to start, complaining about, lo and behold, libexpat.so.0. I read a second suggestion to add --as-needed to LDFLAGS, but as far as I can tell this has fixed nothing. A second remerge of mplayer produces the same result. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?
