What's not working for you after the updates to libjpeg and libpng?

rent0n · 2010-02-01 12:47:40

I didn't updated yet (not yet synced repos), however I have installed fontconfig-lcd and cairo-lcd from AUR (olny way to have decent fonts on lcd screens).

So what is the right procedure to follow (pick your choice)?

1. Upgrade, then remove cairo-lcd and reinstall it (Is this going to work or not?)
2. Remove cairo-lcd, upgrade and then install cairo from the repos until cairo-lcd is patched in the AUR.

And what about fontconfig-lcd? No issues there?

Thanks!

1) yes(with minor modification to cairo-lcd PKGBUILD, look in cairo PKGBUILD there is a sed line) but you have to reinstall gkt2 so that /etc/gtk2 get regenerate correctly
2) that works too but same minor modification to cairo-lcd

no problem with fontconfig-lcd

Does cairo-lcd really make that much of a difference?

definitely

rent0n · 2010-02-01 13:16:52

@wonder: thanks, I'll go with the first option then.
@Allan: If you use it with libxft-lcd, fontconfig-lcd and a good fonts.conf on a lcd monitor, absolutely yes. If you are on a desktop with those crappy crt monitors, probably not!

Myself I'm having trouble with two community packages:

1.
rapidsvn: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
---

2.
exaile:
glib.GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/exaile/data/images/svg/exaile.svg'
(I think this one is actually a problem with librsvg; but I'm not 100% on that--it may be pygtk)

No... last time I tried it, I could not see the difference.

what version of wxgtk you have?

exaile:
glib.GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/exaile/data/images/svg/exaile.svg'
(I think this one is actually a problem with librsvg; but I'm not 100% on that--it may be pygtk)

that needs more investigation as here is working fine. x86_64

And here on i686.

Thanks Wonder,
upgrading wxgtk has resolved rapidsvn. much obliged!

Hador · 2010-02-01 15:22:16

ndesk-dbus crashes docky on my system (x86_64, but that should not make a difference), rebuilding it locally through ABS fixed it.
gnome-session looks for libpng12 and therefore crashes, although from what I read it's probably an issue on my side so I'm gonna check it out.
librsvg was also broken, again rebuilding through ABS fixed this as well, I'm starting to think this is a mirror problem (using archlinux.puzzle.ch ).

As for cairo-lcd, just add this line :

sed -i -e 's/libpng1[0-9]/libpng14/' ./configure || return 1

at line 28 in the PKGBUILD, that should do the trick

And sure enough, upgrading librsvg fixed exaile.

I can't install any updates, I just get errors like
error: failed retrieving file 'pcmciautils-016-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
warning: failed to retrieve some files from core
error: failed to commit transaction (File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

This has been happening for three days, is it still a mirror sync issue?

Interesting, I might have to take those packages for a spin.

Mupen64 has finally died but I needed to upgrade to the split packages anyway, although I'll lose a GTK interface.

Apart from that all is fine, had some wobbles syncing with the mirrors due to impatience but reflector helped me out there.

totsilence · 2010-02-01 19:32:13

Package emacs-cvs was broken for me. I switched to emacs from extra, that one works.

using packages unsupported is your job to rebuild packages

rent0n · 2010-02-01 20:39:30

Ok, just upgraded and wanted to say two things.

1.
Probably the safer solution to upgrade for cairo-lcd users is:
remove (-Rd) cairo-lcd --> install cairo --> upgrade --> check everything's fine --> remove (-Rd) cairo --> install cairo-lcd adding the sed line some posts above before .configure in the PKGBUILD.
Installing libpng12 and libjpeg7 is not a solution imho, but just a workaround.

2.
I'm using the kernel.org mirrors and I've uncommented both the http and the ftp one in my mirrorlist.
Before, during and after the upgrade I keep having a strange situation: giving pacman -Syyu one time tells me that the local database is up to date, but if I give a second pacman -Syyu, pacman tells me that nearly all my packages are newer than the repos' and asks me to "upgrade" (but it's a downgrade) ffmpeg and openjdk.
Really can't understand what's going on.

Aside from that, I'm recompiling my AUR packages and everything seems to work fine!
