problems with -dev packages using liborbit-dev



As part of the preparations for GNOME2, the ORBit include files have
been moved in the new 0.5.10 release (making way for ORBit2 headers).

Most packages will not be affected.  However, -dev packages which
depend on liborbit-dev may have some problems, especially if they use
the IDL compiler to generate headers.  These packages may have to be
recompiled, and I might need to add a versioned "Conflicts:" to
liborbit-dev against the old versions of some of these.

At this point, I know that libgnorba-dev is affected.  I'm not sure
what else may be.  This is something we're going to have to
investigate.  I have my suspicions about liboaf-dev and
liborbit-mt-dev.  Language bindings may bear investigation as well.

I don't think this is going to be as disruptive as, say, a major perl
upgrade, but it's going to have an impact on the stability of things
for the near future.

If you find a package that needs to be rebuilt, please let me know so
I can add any appropriate conflicts to liborbit-dev.

thanks
