Description of problem: during the initial fedora-mono list reviews of mono-uia we have hit the problem that atk support isn't present in gtk-sharp2 prior to 2.12.8. As this support is a hard requirement for the upcoming banshee and the uia stack. I am requesting an update being issued at least for rawhide and F11.
Created attachment 347743 [details] src.rpm for 2.12.9 here is a proposed, lightly tested, update to 2.12.9 src.rpm for the update and beyond.
I rebuild the src rpm and tried to install it and got a whole load of conflicts. Are these easy to resolve without breaking other applications that require version prior to 2.12.8? file /usr/lib/libatksharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 file /usr/lib/libgdksharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 file /usr/lib/libgladesharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 file /usr/lib/libglibsharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 file /usr/lib/libgtksharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 file /usr/lib/libpangosharpglue-2.so from install of gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package gtk-sharp2-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586
2.12.9 is now in rawhide, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-September/msg00321.html to push this to F11 so the mono-uia work can finally go into Fedora will probably require a rebuild. I seem to remember michel doing one so he goes in CC for an opinion.
@John: your problem seems a bit bizarre -- did you do -ivh or -Uvh? Otherwise, a newer package should be expected to replace files previously installed by an older package.
The error I got was from using -ivh, with -Uvh the following happens $ sudo rpm -Uvh gtk-sharp2-2.12.9-1.fc11.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: gtk-sharp2 = 2.12.7-5.fc11 is needed by (installed) gtk-sharp2-devel-2.12.7-5.fc11.i586 Should I just remove gtk-sharp2-devel or get the later .src.rpm and rebuild and install it.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Thanks David for having taken time to update this package. Closing.
