Time for another PSA... It appears libevdev 0.6 breaks the library's ABI without bumping the soname (and without an announcement here or anywhere else I can find, but an ABI change without an soname bump is just flat out wrong whether announced or not). 0.6 was sent to Rawhide, F19 and F20 simultaneously. The ABI change breaks GNOME in F20 and Rawhide (because clutter was using the calls that disappeared in the 0.6 build): undefined symbol: LIBEVDEV_READ_NORMAL (/lib/libclutter-1.0.so.0) undefined symbol: LIBEVDEV_READ_SYNC (/lib/libclutter-1.0.so.0) Dec 26 02:02:34 pressanykey gnome-session[1320]: gnome-shell: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libclutter-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: LIBEVDEV_READ_NORMAL Reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046426 . Rebuilding clutter is not trivial at present, and in fact builds of clutter appear to fail on this same libevdev issue. So right now, GNOME in Rawhide is broken if you install libevdev 0.6, and this monkey doesn't feel comfortable trying to fix it (I don't want to start randomly whacking things in clutter's code to try and make it build against the new libevdev). I recommend not installing this build, and downgrading to 0.5 if you currently have 0.6 installed. If anyone from the desktop team is able to get together with Peter and resolve this SNAFU for Rawhide ASAP, that'd be great, though I realize we're all supposed to be on vacation. Happily, the update for F20 has already been negative-karma'ed out of existence, and the F19 update is well on its way there. Take note, those who say the update karma system is useless: without it, we would likely have broken the world's F20 systems shortly after release...(F19's clutter doesn't seem to use libevdev so GNOME on F19 doesn't break, apparently, but the libevdev update still shouldn't go out). http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=486593 (Rawhide) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-23934/libevdev-0.6-1.fc20 (F20) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-23961/libevdev-0.6-1.fc19 (F19) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
