Gentoo & libcdio

[Guest]

If anyone cares:

Do not update dev-libs/libcdio to version 0.77 it breaks VLC. It replaces/updates libiso9660.so.4 with libiso9660.so.6 wich is not compatable with VLC I guess. I ran ldconfig, etc. but I eventually down-reved to 0.73 and it works again.

Punching out.....

Interesting.

For I'm in the middle of an "update world" I'm hopefully soon in the position
to either confirm the bug dissent your report.

If it turns out that -0.77 is a "No-No" for "vlc" I'll file an appropriate bug-report
at gentoo bugzilla.

Cheers,
Axel

I was told this evening by Flameeyes the Gentoo maintaner that it is fixed.

Please test and report to him/Gentoo bug tracker if it's not fixed for you

In fact updating "libcdio" -- temporarily -- leads to some unresolved
shared library references amongst the "vlc" plugins:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/vlc/access/libvcdx_plugin.so
        libiso9660.so.4 => not found
        libcdio.so.5 => not found
/usr/lib/vlc/access/libcddax_plugin.so
        libcdio.so.5 => not found
/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so
        libiso9660.so.4 => not found
        libcdio.so.5 => not found


But rebuilding vlc (0.8.5-r3) -- which automatically happened during my
"emerge --update world" -- updates those references to the newly
installed version "libcdio.so.7" and "libiso9660.so.5".

Beside of "vlc" the following packages have been spotted by
"rev-dep-rebuild" after doing the "libcdio" update on my system:

Code: Select all

  * media-libs/libcddb

  * media-video/vcdimager



Although (regularly) running "rev-dep-rebuild" is a more or less
standard maintenance task on a gentoo system, I will file a
bug and ask for some "einfo" messages to be added to the "libcdio"
ebuild.

Addition: Don't forget to delete (rm -r) "~/.vlc/cache/" after re-building (the) vlc (plugins)...
