After I recently upgraded from the supplementary/[KDE,GNOME,misc]/update_for_9.3 I have lost some icons for OpenOffice, Scribus, Inkscape and some others. Also, the menus in Gimp have a black background? Has this happened to anyone else? I guess this is what I get for using bleeding-edge updates?

In my system Inkspace stop to work, an error message is showed: "inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", but both inkscape and cairo were update from that site and the Gimp menu has a black background. Also I tried to update the OpenOffice and a lot of dependency is showed.

Hi Alvin & Thadeau, First, please don't "top-post." Second, trim your quotes... snip off the extra bits, leave the quote at top and reply below it. I read left to right, top to bottom, so when you top-post I am forced to jump past what you've written, read the quote for context and then jump back to the top to read your reply. It is not a natural progression for my eyes, so it takes more time to read and is therefore inconvenient. Alvin, you said:

You did mean "... recently upgraded to" right? Thadeau, you said:
In my system Inkspace stop to work, an error message is showed: "inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Alvin, you then ask:
Does anyone know which package is the offending package?
Thadeau's error message is a huge clue: the cairo package seems to be 'bent'. Had you searched the recent list archives to research these problems, you'd have found many posts... including several from me... discussing the supplementary 9.3 packages for Gnome being 'bent', if not outright broken. I finally fixed my desktop by installing everything over, from scratch, but upgrading only KDE to supplementary. Each attempt to install supplementary Gnome, either on it's own or in conjunction with "stock" /or/ supplementary KDE, "broke" my desktop in similar ways. If you leave Gnome at 2.10 and upgrade only KDE to 3.4.2 level "a", you shouldn't have any problems. This KDE upgrade is the smoothest I've experienced to date. YaST2 picked up the source directory, verified the dependencies were satisfied and installed the whole thing without a single "gotcha." The hardest part was accepting that the packages were truly broken; that you could be diligent with YaST/rpm and resolve all the dependencies and *still* end up with a broken desktop. regards, - Carl
