Some general advice.
1. Update gentoolkit to the latest unstable version or at least a app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre* version. These are actually the only working versions as the stable version has a bug that prevents it from returning the full list of packages to reemerge.
2. Check and reemerge all slotted dev-libs/apr-util versions that you have installed.
3. Then run revdep-rebuild
Now for the kde. Check your use flags and do some commands like:
You may want to do a emerge --depclean after that followed by a revdep-rebuild.

Moriah,
Here is how I fixed my expat woes:
- Emerge the old expat
- Copy the old expat libraries to /usr/local/lib
- Emerge the new expat
- Emerge the packages that had problems
- Delete/move the copied libraries after revdep-rebuild is happy
VinzC has an alternative solution that you can find by simply scrolling up on page 17 of the current thread. He is also adamant that you don't follow my advice even though the developers tell us they will automate a similar solution as part of Portage: | Quote: | | portage-2.2 will (hopefully) take care of such problems by making a temporary copy of the affected libraries as long as they are used by other packages, and remove them as soon as no packages are using them anymore. |
IMO both solutions leave your system in the exact same state so the choice depends on which solution is easier for you to implement. The problem is that some of the tools needed to build KDE get broken when extpat gets updated and Portage is unaware of these dependencies. VinzC's method is to track down exactly where this breakage occurs, figure out which Portage packages contains the offending tools, and then emerge those packages first before emerging KDE. The solution I used lets the tools use the old libexpat while KDE is built with the new libexpat. |

That makes good sense -- in what way is it "stable" to not return the entire list? DUH! 
Not being a portage guru, how do I emerge the latest unstable version. The latest I see is: | Code: | * app-portage/gentoolkit
Latest version available: 0.2.3-r1
Latest version installed: 0.2.3-r1
Size of files: 90 kB
Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/tools/index.xml

Thanks!

Add the line app-portage/gentoolkit to /etc/portage/package.keywords and emerge gentoolkit.

There were a few bug reports on this. What I found (in trying to remove this problem from 30+ machines) was revdep-rebuild would find a lot of broken packages and then in some cases when it got ready to build the list to emerge it would not generate all the packages that needed to be rebuilt. Also in some of these cases it would end there telling me something like there was nothing to emerge. The new rewritten revdep-rebuild appears to have fixed that.

I would warmly recommend, like I already posted much earlier, to manage yourself a test machine, which you can use to test expat upgrade and build binary packages to deploy on your production servers. Maintaining a chain of that many Gentoo servers can draw much energy if you must compile packages on each of them - this is definitely not the way to go, IMHO. You'd get better results and no more of a hassle when you do the upgrade on a single machine, build then deploy binary packages.
Deployment based on binary packages doesn't bring your production servers down when such a breakage occurs. Only your test/compile machine.
Unless, of course, you can't do any other way...

Ok, I've been hit by this, and following the revdep-rebuild instructions did not work. I get the error about not being able to determine the correct order. I ended up following the previous tip a few posts back to upgrade gentoolkit and that seems to be going better. Revdep-rebuild now establishes an order for the build process and I'm ready to remove the -p from my RR command.
However. This is just an internal server running apache2. RR wants to load X with umpteen X-related libs and packages. How can I determine what's triggered this? I just want to get past the libexpat issue. Do I have to load X?
Here's my emerge --info.

That would be very nice, except for the fact that almost all the machines are different -- acquired, or comandeered, or rescued, at different times and for different purposes. I have everything from a 256 MB Packard-Bell P-75 with a 40 GB drive, to an AMD-64 with 2 GB and a 1 TB RAID array. In fact the main reason for choosing gentoo was the ability to highly tailor the o/s on a given machine for a special purpose.
I am seriously considering dividing these boxes up into categories, and somehow doing the offline build and test approach you suggest. Once an update is tested, it can be deployed as a binary to the real target boxes.
For even more extreme fun, I am administering these machines from about 400 miles away right now, using ssh and vnc on my laptop with broadband wireless.

No. I have a few systems with apache and without X.
I would mask all versions of one of the X libs that are trying to be installed and then try an and see what complains about the mask. The other thing is to check your use flags and additionally add -X to the list.

First off, trying to emerge gnome-power-manager-2.20.2 during checking gave me an error for "XML::Parser needed"or similar, when I had XML-Parser-2.34 installed already... so I updated to XML-Parser-2.34-r1 and it passed the check.
After that I got "libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file"... I have the dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 already installed (the latest version in portage). So I went into /usr/lib/ and made it a symlink to libexpat.so.1.5.2.

Still having some troubles trying to resolve some expat <-> KDE issues after an update to the latest stable ver of expat and kdelibs-3.5.8-r3 today.
I've run through the following procedure as outlined earlier in this thread:
| Code: | emerge -v1 expat
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*
revdep-rebuild -X --library libexpat.so.0 |
revdep-rebuild is indicating most all of my kde-3.5.8 packages need rebuilding however when it hits the first package it fails with this error:
| Code: | checking for kde-config... /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kde-config
/usr/kde/3.5/bin/kde-config: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0
: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
configure: error: /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kde-config --prefix outputed the non existant
prefix '' for kdelibs.
This means it has been moved since you installed it.
This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix
.

What have I over-looked? I did try recompiling a different kde package in the revdep-rebuild list manually and I received the same crash. |

I have seen this. For me I believe the problem is that revdep-rebuild -X only rebuilds the highest slotted apr-util and not the version that kde was depending on. I solved that by manually rebuilding all versions of apr-util that I had on my system.
To see what versions of apr-util you have:
| Code: | | equery list apr-util |

Thanks for the tip.
Here's what I've got slotted:
| Code: | equery list apr-util
[ Searching for package 'apr-util' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [M ] dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.12-r1 (0)
[I--] [ ] dev-libs/apr-util-1.2.10 (1)
|
So just to confirm, your suggesting I rebuild both or just apr-util-1.2.10, as 0.9.12-r1 is masked?

dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.12-r1 is probably the one causing the problem as it was in my case. I see it is masked in your case so you will have to add it to your keywords.

Thanks! that thread looks like it could be helpful.
What confuses me, is that I already have -X in my use flags (see my code example a couple of posts up), but it's still trying to merge it.
I'll try both (masking the X libs, and looking over that thread more closely). Thanks!

however, still seeing the same error when the revdep-rebuild -X is run (first kde package in the list it attempts to rebuild):

This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix.

In reading back on the history of expat I see some are temp. down-grading back to <expat-2.0 to restore their systems. I just had a look at my /usr/lib to see what was what:
| Code: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159376 Jan 22 21:30 libexpat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 793 Jan 22 21:30 libexpat.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jan 22 21:30 libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.1.5.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jan 22 21:30 libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.5.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128300 Jan 22 21:30 libexpat.so.1.5.2 |
Does this look acceptable? This is of course after an emerge of dev-lib/expat-2.0.1
| Code: | equery list expat
[ Searching for package 'expat' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 (0) |
I should mention I'm still running in an X session during all this. Is there any reason I can't recover from this while in X or do I need to drop back to the cmd line (I know kde will be toast if I try to startx at this point.
Still not sure where to go from here.

Sorry. It looks like apr-util is not the cause of your problem.
You may want to try the latest unstable gentoolkit. There is a bug in the stable revdep-rebuild that may prevent it in generating the full list of packages to rebuild.

At home I fixed this problem while in X. At work I mostly sshd in to the dozens of machines I had to update...

I posted my solution to the problem here.
Note that you need to be careful when copying libexpat.so since it is a symbolic link. I ended up creating a regular file /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so that was identical to /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0. This caused revdep-rebuild to issues warnings which was probably a good thing since it reminded me to remove the temporary library files when I was done. Same thing with /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.0.
This worked for me and did not harm my system at all. In fact one of the dev's said they are planning to modify Portage so it automatically implements a solution like this. |

I see that expat is still braking systems and revdep-rebuild still does not handle it the way it should and the best solution is still emerge world..... Why not just rebuild the systems takes just as long since world always stops. hahahah
I am going to keep waiting for the portage and revdep-rebuild builds that handles this comes out before I go through this mess again on my servers.
7 years of gentoo and this has to be the worst issue I have faced with this looping locking dependences on this lib. I did fix three of my servers with the expat lib move of the old but talk about a pain and doing this to all of my boxes is out of the question. O well keep up the good fight
