[gentoo-user] *** WARNING *** - upgrade to libxcb-1.4 (-r1) breaks your system
Hi, as I have just bitten by it, have a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285004 before upgrading to x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 (1.4.-r1) since this breaks any X11-application (including your browser to look at the URL above) Such an update should be DOUBLY MASKED !!! And the messages coming with libxcb just don't help. revdep-rebuild doesn't help either. And one cannot remerge the broken packages either, since there configure bails out. Oh dear, Gentoo ! Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

Did you read the elog message when you emerged the new version?
libxcb-xlib.so is no longer shipped by ${PN} but was kept on your system
While your system will still work, emerging new packages or updates
will likely fail. You can fix broken libtool .la files by running :
${FILESDIR}/xcb-rebuilder.sh
To completely get rid of libxcb-xlib.so references, please read :

Since my browser got broken, too, this took some time.
And following that advice takes even much more time, since
I have to rebuild half of my system.
Luckily it has 4 cores,
