Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2007-02-22 16:28:47 UTC
gnome-panel-2.16.3 (and likely older versions) don't install when using FEATURES="stricter" due to QA checks:

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.

Comment 1 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2007-05-18 06:43:30 UTC
Given the feedback on my email to gentoo-dev yesterday it seems that this should not be considered a QA issue that needs fixing in Gentoo, so I'm closing the bug. If upstream considers this a problem they should be fixing it.
