Thanks for this, it does indeed let me build librsvg2, and then unison,
which installs fine, runs, and throws a similar error to the one reported
at the start of this thread:
Uncaught exception Glib.Convert.Error(1, "Invalid byte sequence in
conversion input")
I have saved my 2.9 deb files and will revert...happy to test any
suggestions of what might fix this.
The error opens in a window I can't cut and paste from so is typed by hand
above.

Since the above error is from glib, I tried rebuilding
unison 2.10.2 after installing the latest update to glib2
(2.8.0-2) -- and it now works! Everything else I have is up
to date on unstable trees, 10.3.9, fink's Xorg. It could
also be one of the other recent updates (like gtk stuff)
that fixed it I guess...
I note the following things about the new version of unison
(all have work arounds but some are annoying):
1. The buttons in the button bar (like skip, merge left)
don't reset when you've clicked them unless you remove the
mouse and return it. This is annoying if you are working
through a list of files that all need the same choice.
Workaround is to use the hot keys instead (except I'm not
sure there is a hot key for "skip").
2. The same colour bug as in the previous version is still
present: if you select "ignore path" from the menus for a
highlighted entry, all the blue actions are coloured green
when it redraws the screen (blue means you changed the
unison default action).
3. It won't let me sync a bunch of files that worked fine
under unison 2.9 that have names that are OK under unix but
illegal under Windows. It claims they are also illegal
under MacOS but they've never caused me trouble...an example
is abel.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk_DISPLAY=:0 I never sync with Windows
machines, so would like to turn off this restriction, but
haven't found a way to do this. Luckily I don't really need
most of these files any more, so it isn't a big problem for
now.
Many thanks for getting this working!
