[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#645907: ia32-libs-gtk ships an obsolete libgio library

[Francois Gouget]

Package: ia32-libs-gtk
Version: 20111001
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

ia32-libs-gtk ships the following libgio library:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 623K Sep 10  2010 /usr/lib32/libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.2

This corresponds to gtk 2.24 which is annoying since a lot of APIs have been added in version 2.26 for DBus support. For instance g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe(), g_dbus_connection_send_message(), etc. This causes any 32bit application that uses these APIs to fail to run on 64bit Debian systems.

Note that the 64bit package ships the 2.28 version of this library:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Apr 14  2011 /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0.2800.6
