What package owns /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/xie.so on your system?

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-04-11 12:53:40 UTC

XIE is deprecated and no longer built or provided.  Your config file should
not contain any lines listing XIE or PEX.  Remove these lines and the problem
should go away.

I suppose one of 2 things should happen:

1) Both anaconda, and Xconfigurator should remove any references to PEX and
   XIE in the config file(s).

or

2) The XFree86 packaging should automatically remove these lines from the
   config files during upgrades.

I am considering adding this to XFree86 packaging.  Comments?

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2002-04-11 13:28:45 UTC

Please provide the output of:

rpm -qa | sort

This is fairly urgent as well, so please provide it today if possible.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-04-11 16:51:15 UTC

Also, please attach your XFree86 config files, and X server log.

XFree86-compat-modules-3.3.6-44 is part of XFree86 server 3.3.6, and
is not used by XFree86 4.x by the way.

Comment 5 diego.santacruz 2002-04-12 09:21:14 UTC

1. /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/xie.so belongs to XFree86-compat-modules-3.3.6-44

2. I have not installed skipjack2 on my machine. It's a RedHat 7.2 on which I
upgraded XFree (and the packages it depends on) to those of skipjack2 (I wanted
to have XFree 4.2).

3. I did remove XIE from the list of modules to load in XF86Config-4, so now I
have no problem now.

I guess the best solution is to have the packaging remove (or warn about) the
xie line.

Thanks for the feedback.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2002-04-12 10:25:35 UTC

Ok thanks.  I've added code to XFree86's post install script to strip
XIE from XF86Config-4.  Will be in 4.2.0-6.63 and later.
