libjpeg.so.7: cannot open shared object file

[Mati]

Dear members,

i have a problem i dont know how to handle it. When i want to display a picture or open gimp i get the following error:

You should run: revdep-rebuild it checks all dependancies and emerges the packages that have broken links.

[Mati]

thanks,i started revdep-rebuild and there are a lot broken packages. i get the final error and still have the mentioned problem:
what should i do?

[paulusbrand]

The package "dev-java/sun-jdk" is licensed. To Accept teh license add it to /etc/portage/package.license like so:

echo "dev-java/sun-jdk dlj-1.1" >> /etc/portage/package.license
^ ^
package license name

Then try revdep-rebuild again

[Mati]

thanks. i did that but i still get the this output:

[paulusbrand]

Allright, this is going the wrong way. Seems like there is a newer version of kde available, the problem is once you update one kde package the other kde packages need the same version. revdep-rebuild, in my experience, should only be run on a completely updated system. You can do two things:

1 quick fix
Emerge only the packages that don't work. Like gimp and so on to fix the dependancies of that package alone.

2 complete fix
First update your system "emerge --sync && emerge -auDN world" and than run "revdep-rebuild" to fix everything.

I would do the second but it could take some time....

[Mati]

thanks - i tried the second as suggested but even there i get the following error:

[paulusbrand]

Yep, that was to be expected, guess you have never seen something like this before.

[Mati]

ah ok thanks a lot for the detailed help. i did as you mentioned and now 265 packages will be emerged. hope nothing will happen

[paulusbrand]

Don't forget "revdep-rebuild" after the update

[Mati]

ok after 3 hours i get the following error
how can i manage this?

The actual error message is right before your quote, please post about 50 more lines.

useful when battering through a long overdue update:
start with:
emerge --keep-going -uNDa world
if halted by a failure to compile (as you were):
emerge --skipfirst --resume --keep-going -uNDa world
repeat until down to no problems or left with a hardcore problem that must be solved
valuable repair tools in addition to revdep-rebuild:
lafilefixer --justfixit
python-updater
perlcleaner all

[Mati]

Thanks a lot for help.
Now i tried the suggested

[DONAHUE]

it is only emerging packages in your world file and their dependencies, so no. The main source of errors in this situation involves the order in which packages are updated, ideally a package needed to build another package would be emerged first, all too often this is not the case.

[DONAHUE]

yes keep bashing away

[cach0rr0]

could he not have simply unmasked that newer media-libs/jpeg ?

e.g.
