RE: Help! Red Carpet Nuked My System

I just posted a warning about installing -devel packages a few weeks ago.
The primary culprit seemed to be libsoup-devel, but there may have been
others. I was able to use the original Rec Carpet tar download and force
overwrite to replace the bad stuff. I then re-ran Red Carpet with the
options for downloading development software turned off.

You need to remove all of those -devel packages if you can. Assuming that
yuo are successful in that, change your Red Carpet settings to not download
development packages.

Subject: [Users] Help! Red Carpet Nuked My System


Sigh...I just updated my system using red carpet and now I'm toast.
Evolution won't start up and when I killed/restarted X I discovered that I
can't even get xd2 to startup!

Here are some details:

When I try to login using the Ximian Desktop I get the following message:

 "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds....." (a bunch of stuff
deleted)

If I view the details (~/.xsession-errors) I get:

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: line 44: [: too many arguments
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: line 46: [: too many arguments
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: line 48: [: too many arguments

SESSION_MANAGER=local/janus:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2711
startgnome: relocation error: /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_value_take_object


Looks like somehow libbonobo got corrupted. Here's what rug tells me was
installed:
