From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: Installing GConf2-2.4.0-1 on a system with an older version of ORBit2 succeeds. All dependencies RPM knows about are fulfilled. But when trying to run gconfd-2 it crashes because the symbol ORBit_skel_class_register can not be resolved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GConf2-2.4.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ORBit2-2.5.1-1 2. Install GConf2-2.4.0-1 3. Try to run /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 Actual Results: It just terminates, since gconfd-2 first rebinds stderr to /dev/null. But with a trace, one can see this message: writev(2, [{"/usr/libexec/gconfd-2", 21}, {": ", 2}, {"relocation error", 16}, {": ", 2}, {"/usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4", 24}, {": ", 2}, {"undefined symbol: ORBit_skel_class_register", 43}, {"", 0}, {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10) = 111 Expected Results: gconfd-2 ought to run. Additional info: The GConf2 RPM needs an explicit "Requires: ORBit >= X.Y.Z". I don't know the exact minimum for X.Y.Z. 2.5.1 is too low, while 2.8.0 is high enough. Is it easy to see somewhere when ORBit_skel_class_register was added?
Removing EasyFix. EasyFix may be re-added if someone finds the exact X.Y.Z so this is a trivial matter for the package maintainer.
An easy fix would be to actually require 2.8.0. It might be overly conservative, but it would work.
