Description Brian Brock 2000-10-06 15:29:24 UTC
the gdm errata package gdm-2.0beta2-26 requires gnome-libs >= 1.0.17.

The only mention of an updated 6.0 errata package is the gnome update for
6.0, which mentions gdm-1.0.0-36 (which no longer exists on the ftp site).
The only gnome-libs that can be found on the update site is
gnome-libs-1.0.10-2.

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2000-10-16 15:43:51 UTC
Do you have a suggested fix? Do we need to put the 6.1 or 6.2 gnome-libs 
as an errata on the 6.0 errata page? I have no idea about how to do
this so I'm assigning the bug to Elliot, who has more experience in
this area.

Comment 2 Brian Brock 2000-11-06 21:42:48 UTC
I'd recommend that we first either repost the old version of the gdm package (so
that users following the errata don't recieve a 'file not found' error), or that
we copy gnome-libs (and subsequent dependencies) into the 6.0 errata tree.  I
don't know for certain that we need the entire 6.1 errata into the 6.0 errata, I
haven't tinkered enough in the packages yet.  I don't know the entire fallout
from following any of those paths, so I'll leave the decision up to everyone
else.  In a week or so, I'll be able to do more research and see which might be
easier.
