I reported a "secret dependency" in ORBit on popt 1.4, and provided a simple patch. It has been ignored, and now Quartic is accusing me of "spreading FUD" even though I've clearly and publically documented that this dependency is NOT FUD. Nobody at GNOME appears even interested in pursuing this problem (which is quite subtle and evidence of very poor concern for portability); the only reason I can think of for this is that popt is universally present on Red Hat machines because it's part of RPM.
