[Bug 587856] Re: GNOME Drag & Drop broken for remote X sessions

 

Is anyone going to fix this?  It's getting bigger.  Now, the fix no
longer works because other packages are starting to depend on the newer
libraries.  For example:


root@dynamo-ubuntu:~# apt-get install libgtk2.0-0=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgtk2.0-bin=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgail18=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgail-common=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 gtk2-engines-pixbuf=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 --no-remove

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev mongodb xulrunner-1.9.2-dev
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  gtk2-engines-pixbuf libgail-common libgail18 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 downgraded, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled.

The libgtk2.0-dev and those other files are in a dependency path to the
newer (buggy) libgtk files so I can't downgrade anymore.  What do we
need to do to get this fixed?
