I fixed this a month ago in svn, but I didn't deem the change important enough to upload it to unstable during the freeze. For now I'm making eog pick the new libgnome-desktop. The other change will have to wait. Cheers, Emilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Ah, I noticed that just a while ago when I updated. In truth, EOG was the only application still dependent on that old package (at least, installed on my system), so with it updated to use libgnome-desktop-3-7, I don't have a reason to keep libgnome-desktop-3-2 around anymore. That said, if there are any other applications that depend on libgnome-desktop-3-2 that I don't happen to have installed for whatever reason, you may still need to change its dependencies, or update those packages to use the newer libgnome-desktop-3-7 package. (I don't see why the packages coming out for GNOME 3.8 would be depending on the older packages instead of libgnome-desktop-3-7, but then, I don't really understand how Debian's dependencies are tracked. I just notice when dependencies give me hell trying to get other things updated, heh.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
