[opensuse-factory] libgtk-x11-2.0: unresolved g_datalist_get_data
Hi, I'm running 12.1 milestone 5. If i start emacs (or pidgin) i get the following error: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_datalist_get_data Am i missing some library? Is this a packaging error? How may I resolve this? Kind regards Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You might not have updated glib2 alongside gtk2. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I found the symbol g_datalist_get_data to be in libglib2.0.so.0 (by installing libglib-2_0-0-debuginfo and doing nm).
Since package libglib-2_0-0 was and still is installed on my system I have no clue, why programs which rely on this (emacs, eclipse, thunderbird, firefox, chromium, rekonq, midori, pidgin) report a symbol lookup error on g_datalist_get_data. I have three computers with 12.1-RC1 (2 64 bit, one 32 bit) and this happens only on the latter.

You need to update both gtk and glib.. however the underlying problem seems to be that something doesn't use library or symbol versioning the proper way. This should _never_ happend, packages should _not_ get upgraded by the package manager in such scenario. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This bug was introduced by glib commit 1cceda49b60bfd9b326e11996a5c77b10987e57a in version 2.29.10 it adds a new symbol without proper symbol versioning... You might want to ask glib developers to sort out the mess ;) Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It turns out that I had _two_ versions of libglib-2, an old one in /lib and a properly updated one in /usr/lib. Obviously it changed its location this year. The cause of trouble (old one not removed) was the way I upgraded to 12.1: I chose the _install_ option but deactivated to format the system partition (because it also contains /home). Turned out to be a bad idea. Interestingly, 'rpm -q --whatprovides' could correctly identify _both_ (obsolete and current) libglib-2 as being contained in the same libglib-2_0_0 package. I would have guessed that the installation process would create a new rpm database. I'm now wondering, if there may also be obsolete system config files laying around (may be for udev or KDE) which could interfere with my system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
