Bugzilla Bug 170217

When I was trying to install gnome-python 2.16.2, I obtained the next error

After that I tried to install gnome-python 2.12.4 and everything went fine.
I almost sure (but I am unable to reproduce it at the moment) that my problem
has to be that my version of gnome-vfs is too old: 2.12.2, which is not in the
tree anymore.
But if this so, then this has to be corrected in the 2.16.2 ebuild of
gnome-python, because it requires 2.9.3 as the minimum version of gnome-vfs.

gnome-vfs-2.12 isn't even in portage ... Why aren't you building against 2.16.3
?

Looking at the ChangeLog for gnome-vfs, GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_NAME_ONLY was
introduced last year for release 2.13.92.

I'll bug upstream about this so they can figure out which gnome-vfs they want

Thanks

Well, at the moment I cannot install gnome-vfs-2.16.3 because it needs
dbus-1.0.2-r1 and I am still in the 0.60 branch. I am finishing my master
thesis so I don't have time to deal with revdep-rebuild and everything else.
Thanks to understand and to talk with the gnome guys to correct this problem

And thank you very much for your quick answer :-)

upstream was very quick to fix the bug, they advised me to update the dep to
2.14. Fixed in CVS :) thanks

Thanks again for your work and your concern :-)
