Hi all Sorry to get back to you all on this again. Its now nearly 4 days. Has anybody had success in getting the packages of mate updated ? My sources.list is deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch-backports main Hopefully I have got things right. I am wondering if others had success and I am missing something.

As per this https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/45 is says that ebnd of Sept the packages must get fixed. I however still find it difficult to run caja which is primary file/folder manager. and many other applets too are crashing. Is there any schedule update which I can look forward to ?

I am unable to even use the caja file manager.The mate desktop on Stretch/Sid is completely borked at the moment. It was caused by the latest update to GTK 3.0. Fixed newer versions of everything are expected to be released from mate's GIT repository soon but it may take a little while before they make it into Debian. A temporary fix is to downgrade GTK but that may be more trouble than it's worth.I'm told (take it for what's it worth) that the Mate desktop will be updated to 1.16 by the end of the month. I too are waiting anxiously :)I received mail today from the Mate maintainer indicating the packages have been updated to 1.16. They should pop up in updates in a day or two.
The updated packages are in Sid which I am now running. I don't know how long it will be until they get into Stretch.
