Hello Slackers,
This maintenance release includes a new version of the 32-bit layer configuration file (ie /etc/compat32pkg/multilib-32bit-packages.lst). This update is needed
as the layer-32 lacks the packages
startup-notification,
xcb-util, and
libpciaccess.
The packages
startup-notification and
xcb-util are required by firefox 32-bit 4.0 and later, as pointed out by
marnold in
this post.
The package
libpciaccess is required by mesa dri driver for intel i965 (at least) as pointed out by
Martinus2u in
this post.
As always, you can grab this maintenance release at
compat32pkg's website, or, using
this direct link.If you update from a previous release, do not forget to
replace the old
multilib-32bit-packages.lst by the new one. Furthermore, users of compat32pkg 1.3.110319 and later can directly update their 32-bit layer
configuration file using compat32pkg in mode --layer-32-config as shown below :
Code:
$ compat32pkg --layer-32-config update
compat32pkg ver. 1.4.110408 (stable)
