Which causes some problems too. It will break some compatibility (unless you
recompile the affected packages/downgrade them as well):
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-control-center: Depends: bonobo-activation (>= 2.1.0) but 1.0.3-2.2
is to be installed
Depends: libbonobo-activation4 (>= 2.1.0) but
1.0.3-2.2 is to be installed
libbonoboui2-0: Depends: bonobo-activation (>= 2.1.0) but 1.0.3-2.2 is to
be installed
Depends: libbonobo-activation4 (>= 2.1.0) but 1.0.3-2.2 is
to be installed
libbonoboui2-common: Depends: bonobo-activation (>= 2.1.0) but 1.0.3-2.2
is to be installed
Depends: libbonobo-activation4 (>= 2.1.0) but
1.0.3-2.2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
So the question is - is it safe/possible to recompile all of the above so that they
use th 1.0.3 version of bonobo-activation? With the 1.0.3 version I have
also observed quite a few problems with gnome-panel - sometimes it hangs
displaying a black stripe instead of the panel, sometimes it segfaults (and
never gets restarted again), sometimes it loses its settings (that might be
a problem with gconf), too. So, can we get a _real_ solution to the problem
instead of workarounds? I'm about to try to build debs for the 2.1 version
of the GNOME desktp - maybe that will work better than what we currently
have in Debian.
regards,
marek
