This is not limited to software from the F14 repo, but also self compiled applications that worked fine previously on F13. The above version also has the same problem. > > There's a package related RFE in bugzilla which is unanswered since June. > The package is assigned to only one person: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/libgdl > > If a downgrade (with an Epoch bump) is the only way forward, it would > still be good to have the current packager comment on that.

A downgrade for F14 to 2.30.x, however rawhide(F15) probably needs to move to 2.90.x. Which is the GTK3 branch of libgdl. Anjuta is broken on F14. I don't know if any other apps in the F14 repo use libgdl. I'm not familiar with the internal workings of libgdl, however I use libgdl for a couple of my own applications. I think I can tell whether or not the problem is my own application. The upstream bug report I referenced before includes a response from the Anjuta/libgdl developer, "Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32 will ship gdl 2.30.x.". I'm inclined to trust the upstream developer if he says his app is broken. Regards, Jim H -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
