Locale and gdk-pixbuf update
Hi!
LINGUASis being replaced by theL10Nvariable. After a transition time for packages to be converted,LINGUASwill become a normal environment variable. Currently, transition of ebuilds and eclasses take place asynchronously. Users need to addL10Nvariable in their/etc/portage/make.confto be able to set locales for packages that are already converted.LINGUASwill work for older, yet no converted packages. Example:
/etc/portage/make.conf - An example of /etc/portage/make.conf fileL10N="ru uk"
LINGUAS="ru uk"
Update of packages is as simple as:
root # emerge --sync root # emerge -auDN @world
- Security update to
x11-libs.gdk-pixbufavailable.
Update to package by:
root # emerge --sync root # emerge --oneshot gdk-pixbuf
Important
make sure a following command (below) performed:
root # revdep-rebuild --library /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
This will make portage recompiling all packages that linked against gdk-pixbuf library. Missing this step may result in desktop issues, like missing icons, garbled desktop or blank screen after gdk-pixbuf update.
