Updated and uploaded yesterday and today:

• abiword
• gimp
• sound-juicer

These will appear in the APT repository soon.

Also submitted (and had committed) a new gnome-suse.png for gnome-desktop.

Okay, this seems the best way to address the various issues people have emailed me about with ULB GNOME. I'll deal with the ones I know the answer to, there are some (especially with Evolution) that I think are caused by AMD CPUs apparently. I suggest you consult Google if your question is not answered here, or in subsequent blog entries.

Right, the libgcrypt problem. This is caused by people having the suse-people APT component in their APT sources.list. Now, personally, I don't use suse-people, and if asked, I recommend that people don't unless they really don't mind the risk of hosing their system. The contents of /pub/people on ftp.suse.com can include very bleeding edge builds of stuff, some of which is core to a system (I'm sure I've seen glibc in there before. It's even more use at your own risk than anything else. If you're using suse-people, I suggest you rebuild the packages. That may sound harsh, but I won't add it to my sources.list. (This is also the reason I have a build of libxslt in usr-local-bin.

Threaded gtk2 packages. I've not looked into this yet, but I've not deliberately made them thread enabled, so it's the default. What I'll do is look into doing non-threaded builds parallel to the threaded ones.

Someone emailed about gdm being requiring libcroco.so.2, and so not installing. This isn't the case with the 2.4.4.7 package I have installed. For information look through this:

ogley@riggwelter:~> rpm -q --whatprovides libcroco.so.2
no package provides libcroco.so.2
ogley@riggwelter:~> rpm -q --provides libcroco
libcroco-0.6.so.3
libcroco = 0.6.0-100.SuSE.ulb.1
ogley@riggwelter:~> rpm -q --whatprovides libcroco.so.3
no package provides libcroco.so.3
ogley@riggwelter:~> rpm -q --whatprovides libcroco

AbiWord requires libgucharmap.so.3, this is provided by the gucharmap package, which I think will be in the base component.

Problems with libgnutls.so.10 as a dep I think are also down to the suse-people component, or due to just not having gnutls installed - it's in the base component.

multisync-evolution - if you don't use it, uninstall it Alternatively, rebuild multisync-evolution, or I might doa build myself. I don't have it on my system, so I missed this problem. (I use gnome-pilot, which works great with evolution-pilot-2.0.0, and at some point I'll do updated builds of it, and the conduits package too.)

'/etc//opt/gnome/pango/pango.modules' 
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

I think this is down to the mode of /opt/gnome/lib/pango being set incorrectly for some reason. I thought I'd fixed this in the latest packages, and only one person has mentioned it. Anyway... As root, chmod -R 755 /opt/gnome/lib/pango

And now, I should get back to preparing my intro week practise essay.

Update: Close pre tag.

Thanks to John Pettigrew who pointed out that both RSS links were broken, these are now fixed.
