libSM throwing warnings about uuid, have tried everything...

SkyLeach

before and after upgrading libxcb, I was attempting to fix broken libraries on my system.

Symptoms:

Eterm (and many many other things) offer up this warning: /usr/lib64/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/lib64/libSM.so.6)

Lots of ebuilds, especially older things on my system getting recompiled (for instance when running @preserved-rebuild) throw the following types of exceptions and die:
/usr/lib/libSM.so.6: undefined reference to `uuid_unparse_lower@UUID_1.0'

Every time I run revdep-rebuild (w/or/wo -i) it rebuilds libSM (x11-libs/libSM-1.1.1) and apr (dev-libs/apr-1.3.

and finishes successfully but the problems persist.

Do you get any output from emerge --depclean -pv ?

I would also upgrade portage. The current 2.2 version is 2.2_rc46

Well, that libuuid problem is caused by the old libuuid
- it didn't have version info, the one from from util-linux does.
You need to remove the old one and make sure revdep-rebuild doesn't complain.

Sounds familiar. I remember solving this on my systems, but that was months ago..

Oooh, sounds like fun.

Is there anything in that output that you're uncertain about un-merging?

I believe libuuid was in e2fsprogs-libs

BTW, qfile was not installed on one system that I was working on at work so it may not be on the OP's system. I found it at home..

Ok, revdep-rebuild caught and re-installed app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20080316 and didn't touch libSM and apr, which means that what I discovered with the old version of e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs related to what revdep-rebuild was doing and the uuid issue with other packages *and* with @preserved-rebuild were almost all certainly related.

I'm running @preserved-rebuild now, but it has continued far longer than it had previously, which indicates to me that the problem is most likely solved.

if/when preserved-rebuild finishes, I will mark this as resolved thanks to what was posted by Mike.

ty!

That seems to have resolved this. I will update the first post. preserved-rebuild didn't finish, but it's a new error and I'll tackle it separately.

Thanks again guys, esp. mike. :!:
