Description walt 2015-11-21 16:18:20 UTC

Lack of multislot support causes glib-2.46.2 to conflict with itself, i.e.
glib-2.46.2:2/2 blocks glib-2.46.2:2

Reproducible: Always

I don't understand what you mean.

Comment 2 walt 2015-11-21 22:50:45 UTC

Sorry.  I'll try to be more clear.  On Nov 19 pacho@ updated gdbus-codegen.  On the same day a lot of gnome-related updates refused to build because two different versions of glib were pulled in by dependencies.

But the two "different" versions of glib were both glib-2.46.2.  One version was slotted and the other version was multislotted, so they can't both be installed at the same time.

I believe that the gdbus-codegen package is the real cause of the problem.

Thanks, and again I'm sorry for the confusion.

After updating today (11-23) all of the blockers are fixed, so it seems that this bug report is invalid.  Sorry for the noise, and thanks to the dev who fixed it.
