ORBit 2.8.1 uploaded to experimental

[Sebastian Rittau <srittau@jroger.in-berlin.de>]

Hi!

I've just uploaded ORBit 2.8.1 to experimental. Unfortunately, this
version is troublesome. Since Michael Meeks (the upstream maintainer)
had the great idea to internalize linc into this "binary-compatible"
release of ORBit, bonobo-activation breaks. The problem is as follows:
When a socket is about to created in /tmp/orbit-user the
linc_get_tmpdir() function seems to fail. Therefore bonobo-activation
tries to open a file in the root directory which obviously fails and
leads to subsequent failures.

I don't know the exact reasons for this failure, so if anything has any
useful insights or knows where to dig, please let me know.

When I simply tried to rebuild bonobo-activation, it failed telling me
something along the lines of "bonobo-activation is obsolete, don't use
it". So, for now I resorted to conflicting with libbonono-activation4.
This means that the whole of GNOME would need to be rebuilt. At the
moment, I am devoid of a clue what to try next. Any ideas?
