Description Christian Czekay 2005-06-24 17:26:59 UTC
I only file this bug because I can't reopen Bug 75256, which is marked fixed but 
isn't.

The stable imlib2-1.2.0-r2 still has the problem that "imlib2-config --cflags" 
returns just an empty line and therefore pypanel-2.0 builds no binary.
And since this has been marked stable those who upgrade pypanel (to the 
supposedly stable version) loose the pypanel binary. The "fix" suggested in the 
original bug report might work but to have the user manually downgrade a stable 
library in order to make pypanel-2.0 compile isn't the behaviour one would 
expect of a stable package (imho).
So either make pypanel-2.0 depend on <imlib2-1.2.x or mark it unstable again and 
wait for 2.3 to get stable.
See also http://forums.gentoo.org//viewtopic-t-352669.html and the original bug 
report.

this issue is fixed in 2.3... please use that version
Comment 2 Christian Czekay 2005-06-25 14:11:10 UTC
2.3 is not stable, yet 2.0 is.
And you are telling me "I know 2.0 fails to emerge but I don't care." ???
What exactly is the definition of "a stable package"? Is it really too much to 
ask for, that on a completely stable system one gets only those packages that 
actually work?
