Title: libxcb is missing as a dependency in various packages
Post by: netnomad on November 24, 2011, 04:52:21 AM: hello,

i just want to inform you that the dependency to libxcb is missing in various packages:
thunderbird
lxterminal
and probably more.
i guess that only in some very basic packages it needs to be corrected.

thanks

libxcb dependency hits many other extensions for sure, as seen in last days.

i think it's better to change the subject of this thread.

Post by: Jason W on November 24, 2011, 09:46:36 AM: I scanned over the ldd output of the repo, and there were about 20 extensions that needed libxcb before the pango update.

In the case of those mentioned, pango, thunderbird and lxterminal were not linked to libxcb before their recent updates, but now all three now have files that are linked to libxcb. Since pango now depends on libxcb, that will take care of the libxcb dependency that has snuck into any gtk2 apps. I will run another ldd output of the repo later today after updating and see what needs libxcb that does not have it in it's dep tree.

Post by: Jason W on November 25, 2011, 12:46:24 AM: After adding libxcb.tcz to pango.tcz.dep, here are the extensions whose dep files needed libxcb.tcz. I have added them, just be sure to include libxcb.tcz in the dep file of any updates to them.

Code: [Select]
NetworkManager-vpnc.tcz compizconfig-python.tcz ecore.tcz edje.tcz envision.tcz epdf.tcz evas.tcz libast.tcz libeweather.tcz libx11-xcb.tcz xine-lib.tcz

Post by: bmarkus on November 25, 2011, 02:15:54 AM: It means, that libxcb.tcz is not needed in dep list of gnumeric and viewnior as it was added just recently as a temporary fix.
