[SM-Discuss] WTF? libxcb, xlib, and no more executables!

Something has happened. I've updated to the latest version of libxcb  
(1.2) and now something's missing:
libxcb-1.1:/usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.la

That file seems to be missing, I don't know wtf is going on, but we've  
got something broken in our upgrade path and it's removing files for  
us. I guess I'll be running a full cleanse --fix in the hopes that  
cleanse can find the missing things. However, I believe that we  
should've probably automatically handled these triggers or something.

And anything that I rebuild, or try to restart at this moment, goes  
away completely. A simple sorcery queue didn't being in enough stuff  
if I'm missing dependencies or something. Either way, something is  
really bad and it's resulting in me not being able to use my laptop.

Also, xf86-video-intel is having troubles building xvmc support, also  
related to libxcb. I don't have that error to paste at the moment,  
because the box is having troubles working :(
