Hi Florian.
This is a bit odd, as I've got libgtk1.2 on my Lenny install, although as I
said, my Lenny originally started off as Woody 3.0r2, and perhaps that's why
I still have libgtk1.2. Now soundtracker version 0.6.8-2+b1 will not start on
Lenny, apart from a glimpse of the Soundtracker splash screen. On Ubuntu
Intrepid 8.10, which uses the same soundtracker version, but named as
0.6.8-2build1, and again libgtk1.2 is installed, soundtracker starts ok with
no problems.
If Soundtracker works on Ubuntu Intrepid, logically it should be working on
Lenny, as both Soundtracker versions appear to be the same.
I compared all the deps between Ubuntu Intrepid, and Lenny, and the only diffs
were as follows.
Intrepid: libdb4.6, and Lenny: libdb4.5
Intrepid: libesd-alsa0 (installed) alternative libesd0 (not installed)
Lenny: libesd0 (installed) alternative libes-alsa-0 (not installed)
Running Soundtracker on Lenny from the CLI, I get this output below, and
obviously Soundtracker doesn't open.

There is clearly some problem showing on the above output, which is causing
soundtracker to crash as it starts to try and draw the window for the
soundtracker splash screen. All I see is a border for the window, then it
crashes. Any ideas?
I havn't tried the source pkg yet, that you provide the link to above. I may
try the Etch version on Lenny, which is working ok on Etch. Some time later.
having tried the Etch version, and problems with libglib1.2, which complains
about not being installed. Synaptic on Lenny lists the package, but shows no
package version available, so that's another no-go.
I'll have a go at installing from the source tarball, after installing all the
development stuff, but still can't understand why Soundtracker works on
Ubuntu Intrepid, but not on Lenny, and as in the case of the OP who posted
about about this problem, he can't even install Soundtracker on Sid, because
of dependency problems.
Well I'm still trying to get Soundtracker working once again on Lenny, and am
about to install the deps so that the source tarball may compile.
Any comments on all the stuff above would be welcome.
Nigel.
