Hi
Below is a script produced from a failed attempt to load kde4 on amd64.
Up until latest upgrades there were no problems.
Now loading from
#startx now produces thhe output shown from the script file.

The very wierd thing is that in the event of a second attempt to launch x
with startx the whole system crashes immediately.

So I am seeing two problems relating specifically to this report.
1. The primary failure which seems to be due to an inability to find
libicui18n.so.38.
2. The secondary question is why should a crash occur when a second attempt
is made to startx? This suggests a systematic failure of some kind.

My guess is the primary may be solveable by rebuilding icu and its
dependencies (quit a lot I believe!).

There seem to be some other problems revealed by this script which I do not
understand.

Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

david

missing as well.

Yes, rebuilding devel/icu and it dependencies works.

I also deleted the stuff in /usr/local/lib/compat/, just to make it
sure it does not collect the wrong libicui18n.

/usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.46.0 was installed by package icu-4.6

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert

I am just rebuilding pulseaudio to see if that fixes the primary problem on
this system. I am then going to rebuild ever4ything that depends upon
devel/icu (My huess is well over 200 ports!).

Could you possibly check that your devel/icu is up to date and then rebuild
any progtams that have show problems with libicu18n.so.38 and post your
results?

Sure does -- its good to feel one may be going in the right direction.

That leaves the serious issue of the system crash. In order to test results
I am having to shutdown and restart the system when startx fails once.!! NOT
GOOD!

Just adding to the mix - I have just started a rebuild of devel/icu and
reread the above. In /usr/local/lib/compat I find no libicu files -- ther
is however a collection in /usr/lical/lib/compat/pkg/. They are:
libicu-
data.so.38.1
data.so.40.0
data.so.40.1
data.so.46.0
i18n.so.38.1
i18n.so.40.0
i18n.so.40.1
i18n.so.46.0
io.so.38.1
io.so.46.0
le.so.38.1
le.so.40.0
le.so.40.1
le.so.46.0
lx.so.38.1
lx.so.46.0
test.so.46.0
tu.so.38.1
tu.so.46.0
uc.so.38.1
uc.so.40.0
uc.so.40.1
uc.so.46.0


Bearing in mind
#portupgrade -fr devel/icu is currently in hand what, if anything, needs to
be done with these files?

for me, I solved this problem with this script, use: sh script
libicui18n.s0.38
it scans every lib in /usr/local for the string libicui18n.so.38
and than finds the package that has that lib,
finally it builds the ports that have that string.

=======================================
t=/tmp/$$
find /usr/local -name "*.so" | \
while read x
do
if grep $1 $x
then
pkg_info -qW $x >> $t
echo found in $x
fi
done
if [ -s $t ]
then
portmaster $(sort -u $t)
fi
rm -f $t
========================================
Seems a much more sensible approach than rebuilding all ports depending
upon icu. On my system there are 250 targets using portupgrade -fr devel/icu
My guess is your script would have considerably reduced the number of ports.
However I am going to let it complete now the run is underway.

Any ideas why one gets a crash on a second attempt to startx? For more info
see first posting in the thread.

Thanks

OK rebuilding devel/icu and all ports that depend upon it resolved the problem
with the system and startx loads kde4 as normal.

However I am left with this nagging concern about why a complete system crash
occured when following a first failure to load the second attempt caused an
immediate system crash.

So I am reposting the original script below.

Any ideas where to take this?

Thanks

David
