Default System messed up, should I just reinstall?

I'm using Release 7, and unfortunately have not kept up with updates very well since installed in Nov. 2008. Before that, I was using 6.2, so I'm not totally new, but I'm new enough that I don't know all the ins and outs of getting out of problems.

I was intending to upgrade to, or do a fresh install of, 7.1 Release soon, but can't get to it for a couple of weeks at least. So I thought I better update some ports anyway.

I first got the message:

Quote:
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-kmod
===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
===>>> requires the userland sources to be installed. Set SRC_BASE if it is not in /usr/src
And so dealt with that ok, but my next update had a problem with linux-glib2. This is where I think I screwed up! I entered make deinstall devel/linux-glib2 from /usr/ports/ thinking that since I was giving it the directory, that it would only deinstall linux-glib2. I think it actually deinstalled a whole bunch of stuff.

Honestly, since then, I have tried so many different things, I am not sure what state the box is in, except that I know if I shut down any of the programs I depend on daily (email, firefox, mrxvt, etc) that are currently running, they will not open again. TG for the UPS.

I seem to to have issues with anything that is linked to libxcb.so.1, because that is in a lot of the errors I get trying to deinstall/install/update the missing programs. I have about 40 things that depend on it, but it is gone. I was happy when tea installed without an error, but then when I tried to run it, I got
Quote:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libxcb.so.1" not found, required by "libxcb-render-util.so.0"
I am lost. I don't know what to do from here. I have googled myself into a maze I can't find my way out of. Do I need to deinstall the 40 things that depend on libxcb.so.1, and then reinstall them? Is the problem possibly deeper than that, and the true extent not surfaced for me yet? I was somewhat taken aback when I went to run nano and it wasn't on the system anymore! Fortunately it installed again without a hitch. Have I (stupidly) deleted all programs, not just X programs? Is it going to take longer to fix this than to just build a new system with 7.1, which I was hoping to do soon anyway?

Anyway, without further rambling, if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. I'd be glad to provide any information that will help someone help me fix this.

Have you tried reinstalling /usr/ports/x11/libxcb ?

OK. the next step may be to rebuild things directly depending on libxcb. It may be a version thing. Note that fixing things like this becomes alot easier if you use one of the port management tools: I think I wold recommend portmaster , although portupgrade is more mature. Both of them allow you to do things like 'portupgrade -r [portname] to upgrade everything dependent on the port with one command, and several hours <g>. Install your choice, and check theman page for the syntax. Both products man pages have comprehensive examples.

More usefull info after a bit of searching: It is a version error: libxcb is now version 2, and installs libxcb.so.2. As a hack, sometimes softlinking the missing library entry to the existing one functions (ln -s /usr/local/lib/libxcb.so.2 /usr/local/lib/libxcb.so.1), but it is not a fix - merely a short-term workaround until you have fixed the problem.

from what I can see, though, a proper clean, deinstall and reinstall of libxcb should fix it - the problem is between two parts of the libxcb port.
Code:
cd /usr/ports/x11/libxcb
make clean
make build deinstall reinstall
Should fix it.

You probably ended up deinstalling most of your ports with that command. You can see which ports are still installed with the following command: $ pkg_info
It would help if you posted the output of that here.

For the future, if you want to deinstall a package, either use the pkg_delete command or change to the specific port directory and run make deinstall (e.g.: $ cd /usr/ports/devel/linux-glib2 && make deinstall).

I have them both installed; I used portupgrade on the previous system, but switched to portmaster after reading glowing reviews of it, probably as a lurker on this forum.

Now that you say that, I remember doing that for a problem library when I was using Gentoo.

libxcb.so.2 is installed. How do I get the programs that are looking for libxcb.so.1 to use libxcb.so.2 instead, without resorting to the workaround you mentioned above (because I'd rather have a real fix)?

I think I understand what "make deinstall reinstall" does. What does "make build deinstall reinstall," that is, adding "build," do?

I was afraid of that, when I saw a bunch of port names scrolling by after issuing it.

I can see that some are missing; gimp, gftp, wine... The ones that are there that I've tested won't run.

For the future, if you want to deinstall a package, either use the pkg_delete command or change to the specific port directory and run make deinstall (e.g.: $ cd /usr/ports/devel/linux-glib2 && make deinstall).
For future reference, is there a big difference in pkg_delete and make deinstall, with regard to what's actually happening, or does pkg_delete just take care of finding where to deinstall from?

Thanks, BSDKaffee.

You'll have to recompile the programs that are 'missing' it for the best results (read the man page for pkg_info; it can show you what installed ports depend on libxcb; portupgrade and portmaster can upgrade libxcb and everything that depends on them if desired, rather then just specific ports).

For the stuff that is missing, you can just update/repair what you have and then install anew, anything that is still missing afterwards (like wine).


Functionally, pkg_delete foobar-2.1.0_1 is equivalent to cd /usr/ports/category/foobar/ && make deinstall. Except when updating software, I personally prefer "pkg_delete -x foobar-2" or "pkg_delete -x foobar" to save on typing the version numbers, and to skip remembering where in ports it is located hehe.




@ make build deinstall reinstall

it means fetch / build the port like normal, deinstall the currently installed version and reinstall the version just compiled or built.

Thanks, TerryP. It will probably be day after tomorrow before I have a chance to work more on this, but I will report (hopefully) my success afterwards.

I do appreciate the explanations; when I'm in a panic about my system, I'm probably not at my best for reading manpages.

Actually, it's the same as pkg_delete with force option.

Seems like you are getting enough advice, so I'll bow to those more experienced than I.

The reason I add 'build' to the 'make deinstall reinstall' is that adding the build target means that the port gets actually made before the old port is removed. 'make deinstall reinstall' will uninstall the port, then build it and reinstall it - the program is unavailable during the (possibly lengthy) build. 'make build deinstall reinstall' rebuilds the port before removing it: the package is missing for the least available time. (Technically, the 'install' or 'reinstall' targets always include the 'build' target, like the 'build' target will always call the 'fetch', 'checksum', 'extract', 'patch' and any other target that is needed. If a target has been done, then calling it again does nothing.)

This is only rarely important, so it doesn't matter much.

The last point I'll make is the importance of running 'make clean' (Often I'll use 'make clean build deinstall reinstall'). This ensures that you do not simply reinstall an already broken build!

*****************************************************************
Although libxcb can yield dramatic improvements in speed,

become the default Xlib for X.org/freedesktop.org, it is
still experimental software.  Some broken callers will abort()
on locking assertion failures.  As a temporary workaround, set
LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK in your environment to skip the abort().
This may result in noisy stacktrace printing.

        Re-installation of cairo-1.8.6_1,1
Looking back at my list of installed packages, I see that I have libetpan 0.55. I can't disable it because I need IMAP4, and the 0.57 version was in my ports tree so I updated it. I was going to rerun portmaster -rf libxcb and see if it would get past Claws this time, but since the output had said that bluefish was reinstalled, I tried to run it, and got this:

Code:
[AncientDragonfly@wampus: /usr/home/AncientDragonfly/]$ bluefish
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libxcb.so.1" not found, required by
"libxcb-render-util.so.0"
so it seems I haven't accomplished the needed changeover to libxcb.so.2 yet. Since the libxcb.so.1 is being required by libxcb-render-util.so.0, and it doesn't seem to have been updated, how do I find out what port supplies it?

'make deinstall reinstall' will uninstall the port, then build it and reinstall it - the program is unavailable during the (possibly lengthy) build. 'make build deinstall reinstall' rebuilds the port before removing it: the package is missing for the least available time. (Technically, the 'install' or 'reinstall' targets always include the 'build' target, like the 'build' target will always call the 'fetch', 'checksum', 'extract', 'patch' and any other target that is needed. If a target has been done, then calling it again does nothing.)

This is only rarely important, so it doesn't matter much.
Sounds like good advice; if the port won't rebuild for whatever reason, then it's best not to deinstall it, at least until you figure out why?

Quote:
The last point I'll make is the importance of running 'make clean' (Often I'll use 'make clean build deinstall reinstall'). This ensures that you do not simply reinstall an already broken build!
So, considering the mess I'm in right now, would it probably be a good idea to go ahead and clean all these:

Code:

the bit about /usr/bin/true concerns me a bit.... lol.

one way you can see what shared libraries a program uses is ldd; it'll show the path and a memory address (or not found); $ ldd `which bluefish` for example (`which cmd` is usually less typing then /usr/local/bin/cmd)

the libxcb port should have built libxcb.so.2, but from the sound of the ld-elf output: libxcb-util likely needs to be rebuilt likewise. (libxcb-render-util is a library built on top of libxcb and stuffed in an '-util' group; bluefish likely uses the lib, which intern uses libxcb, +/- a few other layers of indirection). I'd suggest updating your libraries before the dependents if you can; utilities like portmaster/portupgrade are only so smart about build order.


Personally, I keep a list of software written out, kind of like a Standard Operating Environment (SOE). That lets me know exactly what software is needed; including the ability to semi-automate installing it all from that list. It also has the perk, I can remove every installed package and build fresh if things get to annoying or two hopelessly out of date. I've never had to call that in though, even if similar situations to your present one. One virtue of unix systems, it is usually very easy to repair with a bit of effort and a couple hours or days.

I didn't know what it was when you said that, so I searched it. I gather that icon-theme.cache is supposed to be removed and it isn't happening because it's being sent to a program that's supposed to do nothing? If so, no wonder you lol-ed. It's a 7mb file. Is that something I need to/can do something about?

the libxcb port should have built libxcb.so.2,
It did, and I guess it wiped out the libxcb.so.1 when it did.

xcb-util is the port name I needed. I got that by googling libxcb-util and freesbsd, but is there a way I could have found that out from the system itself?

It wouldn't do it with portmaster -rf xcb-util, it gave me:
Code:

===>>> Update for gconf2-2.24.0 failed

===>>> Update for bluefish-1.0.7_5 failed
===>>> Aborting update
so I did it with portmaster xcb-util.

The great news is that bluefish and tea are both working again! THANK YOU!

And I was so excited to thank you that I haven't tried anything else yet. I have just a few more questions if you don't mind.

How do I update the libraries first? Manually, one by one? (I'm pretty ignorant of the libraries, if you couldn't tell.) And will all libraries start with "lib"? So if I do a "pkg_version -v" all the lib*s listed there should be done first? Or is there a different command to do it more automatically?

I'm thinking now all I need to do is to reinstall the ones that aren't there anymore, and I'll be fixed, but is there something else I should do to make sure everything is right? Redo the portmaster -rf libxcb and portmaster -rf xcb-util?

Would it be a bad idea at this point to use portmaster -iva to get everything updated (that is kinda how this mess started)?

Easy to repair if you know enough or can find good helpers, like I seem to have found here. The list is a good idea, I'm going to do that once it's in proper working order. I feel like I need to keep a running log of everything I do, until I know better what I'm doing, just so I can go back and remember everything.

Thank you so much, once again, and thanks for all the tips also. Once I've made sure everything is working again, I'll let you know, and add a [solved] to the subject line.

On my box (7-stable complied a few weeks ago) /usr/bin/true is a 4kb file; or did you mean the file being sent? (I assume true is to : like test is to [ in sh script; but I've rarely seen true or : used)


I believe some programs (either on their own genius or threw ports 'make' targets I dunno about yet) can save old libs (portupgrade comes to mind), but generally yeah it should've killed it; ports/pkg have an idea of what files they come with and try and clean up after themselves.

The way I found out about it, was looking up libxcb, and following the link in pkg-descr to cure curiosity over it as an "xlib replacement"; which mentioned using supporting libs (with a list) for higher level programming (I'm a programmer by nature; cleaner by trade). When I looked over the output you posed again, I saw the 'libxcb-render-util.so.0' part and it clicked: libxcb-render was one of the supporting libs I saw on the web page.Having the libraries name, I knew it had to be either part of libxcb, libxcb-render, or some other package; a search of ports turned up xcb-util and a look around their pkg-plist / Makefile 's clinched it. (I use ports-mgmt/psearch and www.freebsd.org/ports for it). The files in /var/db/pkg/pkg-x.y.z_a and /usr/port/category/portname can be very handy for gathering info.


Really, I think a big part of computer savy'ness is learning how to get half a clue, and hack away at it until it leads to something else; trying to learn more about that shows good signs padawan ;-)

You'll find us lot much more inclined to help those who are willing to help themselves.



One thing you might like is using 'script' to log stuff; normally when doing a big round of updates I execute 'script /home/Terry/descriptive-name.scr' from the root shell and go run stuff, so I can have some clue of the output of programs beyond the terminals scrollback buffer. (note: control chars from shell line editing or apps like vi show up in the file, and can sometimes make it harder to search the file via editor or grep). I've still got a 15M 'world.scr' from last weeks update (I think the logs of portmaster were over 50M)



& thank you for deciding to add a [solved] to the thread title when it eventually is solved; it helps people find the thread and know "hey, the solution is probably there" :-)



I still remember the joys of dealing with libxcb / glib20 back in February'ish in my before-last periodic update of everything. Ended up having to rebuilt most of X11 and GTK+.

Well, I've hit a snag with gstreamer that I'm trying to figure out how to fix, so I'll come back and be more conversational tomorrow (or else be back begging for help again).

I guess it's later than tomorrow ^, but I'm back with an update.

Little by little, I am getting the things I need back, by using these:
portmaster and portupgrade with an assortment of switches
and
make clean build deinstall reinstall (from the proper directory, I won't make that mistake again!)

Sometimes when something won't finish, I'm getting the last message on the screen and searching for whatever is causing the problem, sometimes doing a workaround instead of actually solving the problem.

For instance, emelfm2 was hanging on gstreamer, and I tried installing gstreamer-plugins, but got this:
Code:
configure: Requested 'gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.21.1' but version of GStreamer is 0.10.21
configure: error: no gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.21.1 (GStreamer) found
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to multimedia@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach
the
"/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins/work/gst-plugins-base-0.10.22/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be
a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system
(e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1
I am not sure if I should submit that, because I know I have problems, so wouldn't want the developer people to spend time chasing a bug that is not a bug but my messed-up system.

Anyway, I got to wondering why a file manager would use gstreamer (after searching and finding out what it was), and there was a configuration for
'THUMB=off (default) "Enable the thumbnail plugin" ' which I had enabled the first time around, and once I did make config and set it to off again, it compiled.

I am still not finished though, and my latest problem is:
Code:
===>  Building for tuxcards-1.2_2
/usr/local/bin/uic src/gui/dialogs/expiredElementsDialog/ExpiredElementsDialogInterface.ui -o src/gui/dialogs/expiredElementsDialog/ExpiredElementsDialogInterface.h
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libaudio.so.2" not found, required by "libqt-mt.so.3"
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/deskutils/tuxcards/work/tuxcards-1.2.
*** Error code 1
so I'll go try to figure that out, and maybe one day, I will have all my programs back. But I actually will be happier when I get the time to build a 7.1 system from scratch, so nothing from my screw-up will come back to haunt me later.

The cache file was 7mb.

Well, if the icon-theme.cache file keeps growing, I'll get rid of it manually (after renaming it and testing, so I don't get in another mess).

I seem to remember from when I was using Gentoo Linux that there was a command that would tell you what libraries were supplied by which program packages - like "command libraryname" and it would spit out what you had to install to get the library. Of course, FreeBSD is not Gentoo (thank god!), and I may be misremembering too, it's been a couple of years or more.

Thank you; I'm not new to technical stuff, just fairly new to compiling from source. I'm also pretty shy by nature, and hate to look like an idiot in public, even if y'all don't know who I am. lol, silly, I know.

Ah, yes, I'm a bit that way myself. When people can't bother to try to be self-sufficient, they're gonna need a LOT of handholding, and perhaps it's best if they don't go there in the first place. I try to be understanding, though, that sometimes things that seem obvious to the experienced don't make sense to the inexperienced.

Great, making a note of that one!

Shudder! I still have nightmares about the big x.org update, where it went from monolithic to modular. I was using Gentoo at the time. I think perhaps some of my bad experiences with it is what makes me timid to upgrade FBSD. It may have improved again by now (it wasn't always bad), but I haven't looked back since coming to the daemon side.

script configure failed unexpectedly. ( I *never* send a PR)
make build-depends-list (I alias that so I do not every have to type it:
..................................bdl maybe)
7 ports shown?
ls -lac /var/db/pkg/first-one-1.0
ls -lac /var/db/pkg/next-one-2.0
etc.
Usually the top lines of the output of the above will show you day of the most recent
(re)install of the port. You can /bin/rm -rf work
and start rebuilding the 7 from the oldest to the newest. 95 percent of the time
that *may* work. If all else fails you can pkg_add (maybe 3 percent of your
installed ports) if the tbz or whatever exists.
