For some reason, gtk-sharp2 and gnome-sharp are not rebuilt with ppc64 support yet. We will only have a very limited time to rebuild all the depending packages for F-11. It would only take a few minutes to rebuild gtk-sharp2 and gnome-sharp for their maintainers. Why are these things left to the last minute?
