Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2010-02-19 06:13:50 UTC

fontmatrix-0.6.99-5.r1073.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.

Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2010-02-19 06:21:48 UTC

Umm... 

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=156925
says this fontmatrix was rebuilt against qt-4.6.1-3.fc12,
(and the submitted fontmatrix-0.6.99-5.r1073.fc12 also uses
 this qt)
which is in fact still in dist-f12-updates-testing (not in
dist-f12-updates), but in F-12 buildroot because this qt
has dist-f12-override tag.
ref: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F12/FEDORA-2010-1895
    (still F-12 updates-testing)
This new qt provides _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev symbol.

On the other hand current dist-f12-updates qt is still
qt-4.5.3-9.fc12 and this qt does not provide _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev
symbol.

So perhaps enabling testing repo and updating qt related
packages should fix this, however I think this kind of things
should be handled somehow by release engineering.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2010-02-19 06:49:42 UTC

The problem here is folks not reading our devel-announce e-mails!

Each time there's the odd package getting built against the new Qt and pushed directly, or at least too early, to stable. :-/

Packagers of Qt packages are responsible for making sure they don't push their package to stable before the Qt they built against goes stable.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2010-02-19 06:51:42 UTC

As for the workaround to this bug: downgrade to fontmatrix-0.6.99-3.r1073.fc12 from the F12 release.
