/me sends his order to Branden: One fixed libxrender1 please, hold the sarcasm. ;)
UPDATE: relocation errors and accented character problems
Ok, I think we may have determined what the problem is. Everyone who is having either of the problems please try adding quotes around the var for LD_BIND_NOW. If that works for you also check to see what the following points to: ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 2003-09-18 17:12 /bin/sh - bash I think not having the quotes is wrong but that bash doesn´t care(?). However, I do have at least one reported case where when /bin/sh points to dash it causes the problem. dash is posix shell which would very likely make the code fail. If this fixes the problem I will correct it in the next upload. Thanks, Chris signature.asc Description: Digital signature

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sorry Chris, but I think you are wrong. To all encountering this error - it appears to be breaking in libxrender1 itself, not KDE. We are working on a diagnoisis and solution right now and will post when we have a tested solution. Please bear with us. In the meantime, you can downgrade libxrender1 to 0.8.2-1 or 0.8.2-2.

Everyone who is having either of the problems please try adding quotes around the var for LD_BIND_NOW. If that works for you also check to see what the If you refer to adding: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify This is wrong, because without the quotes it assigns true to LD_BIND_NOW and the execute kdeinit. By adding the quotes you assign to full string to the variable. That means that kdeinit isn't started there (and probably LD_BIND_NOW is tested as true). But kdeinit is still started later on, so I wonder the what's doing exactly that line there. following points to: ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 2003-09-18 17:12 /bin/sh - bash I think not having the quotes is wrong but that bash doesnt care(?). I've all my machines linked to bash and still three of them fail, and one with X4.2 works However, I do have at least one reported case where when /bin/sh points to dash it causes the problem. dash is posix shell which would very likely make the code fail. If this fixes the problem I will correct it in the next upload. I think is related to a variable initialisation in startx|startkde, but is not this one. -- ricardo galli GPG id C8114D34 http://mnm.uib.es/~gallir/

Re: UPDATE: relocation errors and accented character problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 People, I think we are confident that this is not an issue with bash/dash or with the quoting in /usr/bin/startkde. Please leave the relevant line in startkde as distributed: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify When we have a solution to this libxrender/ldconfig breakage, we will let you all know.

I have to run XFree 4.3 so haven't seen this problem myself. I am working with Branden Robinson to help resolve this issue now. BTW think of LD_BIND_NOW as: LD_BIND_NOW=yes kdeinit +kcminit +knotify it is passing the variable to kdeinit not being misquoted. That is the reason doing LD_BIND_NOW=yes kdeinit +kcminit +knotify would be incorrect. Thanks, Chris signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Just to keep people up-to-date, it will be a few hours before Branden is ready to upload a fixed, so please either downgrade or wait for the new package to be built, tested and uploaded. === xrender (0.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Urgency medium because the problem fixed by this release bites a lot of KDE users who are using XFree86 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 Debian packages. * Add new diversion of the actual old libXrender shared object (as opposed to diverting only the symlinks). This is necessary because ldconfig will recreate the libXrender.so.1 symbolic link in /usr/X11R6/ lib, which causes major confusion (and possibly errors from the dynamic loader) for anything that searches /usr/X11R6/lib before /usr/lib. / usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1.1 is now being diverted to /usr/X11R6/ lib/xlibs.libXrender-1.1.so.1.1. The diversion's name has to have xlibs. preprended because ldconfig will attempt to operate on any plain file matching lib*.so*. - debian/libxrender1.preinst - debian/libxrender1.postrm * Under duress, ship a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la to / usr/lib/libXrender.la. There appears to be a bug in libtool that that compels it to place absolute paths to .la files in other .la files. This symlink should allow a transition to a non-broken libtool (or the eventual recompilation of all libraries that transitively depend on libXrender, which is a lot of them) and will be removed in the future. - debian/libxrender-dev.links -- Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 8 Oct 2003 19:17:31 - -0500 === Thanks, and goodnight.
