Description dan-fedora 2011-06-14 20:49:35 UTC
Description of problem:
executing gnumeric gives prints an error, and gnumeric does not start.


Error printed:
gnumeric: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspreadsheet-1.10.15.so: undefined symbol: go_direction_get_name


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
package gnumeric-1.10.15-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm


How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
update from gnumeric 1.10.14 1.fc14 (working) to gnumeric 1.10.15 2.fc14 (breaks)

Comment 1 Julian Sikorski 2011-06-14 20:53:55 UTC
Well, I am unable to reproduce this - gnumeric starts for me on both f14 x86_64 and f15 x86_64. Please try the following:
$ rpm -V gnumeric
Which version of goffice do you have installed?

Comment 2 dan-fedora 2011-06-14 21:13:48 UTC
ah, ok

$ rpm -V gnumeric 
$ rpm -q goffice gnumeric
goffice-0.8.14-1.fc14.x86_64
gnumeric-1.10.15-2.fc14.x86_64

^ this fails

$ sudo yum update goffice
...
  Updating       : goffice-0.8.15-1.fc14.x86_64                                                                                  
  Cleanup        : goffice-0.8.14-1.fc14.x86_64                                                                                 

^ this works

Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2011-06-14 21:17:16 UTC
Looks like something went south on your system. Is it gnumeric working after goffice update?

Comment 4 dan-fedora 2011-06-14 21:26:50 UTC
Ah, that's what I meant by "this works".  The latest gnumeric package works after I updated goffice.

How this machine got to this point:
goffice package was installed June 7th (through yum)
gnumeric package was installed today (June 14th) (through yum)

I suppose one way to prevent this from happening to other people is to hard-code the version check in gnumeric spec.

Such as:
Requires: goffice >= 0.8.15

Comment 5 Julian Sikorski 2011-06-14 21:30:05 UTC
Since gnumeric and goffice are most of the time released together, I usually push them as one update. I can consider hardcoding the dependency with the next release.
