Bug 348290 – >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2.32 is still masked

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Pacho Ramos 2010-12-09 18:06:56 UTC]

It's masked with:

# Gilles Dartiguelongue <[e-mail]> (07 Dec 2010)
# Part of GNOME 2.32 release set by breaks my machine as hell
# Needs more testing before unleashing
>=gnome-base/libbonobo-2.32


Since it didn't cause for me any problems, I would like to get that problems tracked and a bit more explained on a bug that can block Gnome 2.32 tracker :-)

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Problem is simple, unmask libbonobo, reboot, all applets except the one not using bonobo or shipped in gnome-panel 2.32 itself are broken.

I get the "communication failure" error message if I start with gnome-panel --replace.

I have had this problem twice now, the first time I masked it in overlay when I didn't have a complete gnome 2.32 setup (fair enough), but I'm still getting it right now. This is all on my ~amd64 box and I have yet to try on my ~x86 one, but it is going to take some time to build since it is a pentium III @550Mhz.

Ah, yes, I see it now. 

I didn't see it before because I have my session configured for launching tomboy at startup instead of using its applet (that is still using bonobo), then, I forgot my configuration and was thinking its applet was working fine... but I was wrong :-/

Will need to investigate this when I have time

I think we should simply drop this version as this won't ever be solved

it looks like debian is shipping it in testing but otherwise I agree with having it removed.
