I just upgraded my borzoi today, and had a bit of a problem that I
should let people know about. AFAIK this will only affect those using
e17 as their window manager.
The upgrade process got stuck when it tried to install libts-1.0-0.
ipkg reported a conflict with libts-0.0-0. My usual response would be
to remove the old library, and install the new one, and re-run ipkg
upgrade. I did that, and everything went fine, until I re-booted.
Then, I could not get past the login screen. After altbooting (thank
God or whoever for that!) with my cf card and trying things, I
discovered that enlightenment would not start, since libts-0.0 was not
found. Of course, booting off the cf card for some reason made / ro,
but after fixing that I decided to try, in order:
1) symlinking libts-0.0.so.0 to libts-1.0.so.0
2) ipkg install libts-0.0-0
3) reverting to matchbox.
Fortunately, trick # 1 worked, and I am back in business.
So, would it be better to install libts-0.0-0, or would ipkg even allow
that? It seems that enlightenment does not mind the fake link to a
newer library than it wants, so maybe that is OK as is.
