Thanks for filing the bug. The patch doesn't apply in any case. Nevertheless, it would be good to pester the maintainer of the gnome-python2-extras and help him look into it, given that it was your soname bump of libgdl that caused the problem in the first place. :) I'm not trying to pick on you (because at least you announced the change on f-d-l), but, in general, it would be good if maintainers got in the habit of always running repoquery when an soname bump is going to happen to check exactly which packages a given soname depends on, rather than guess. Then the maintainer can co-ordinate with the maintainers of the affected packages *in advance* (or rebuild them yourself if sufficiently comfortable with the package), rather than having broken deps in rawhide which last for several days (or weeks in some cases).
