Package: gtk2-engines-xfce
Version: 2.3.99.2-1
Severity: serious
Usertags: gtk-2.10-transition
Hi,
I've uploaded Gtk 2.10 to unstable and it changes ABI, which means that
your package will not work with Gtk 2.10 as is. The Gtk 2.10 package
added conflicts with the above version of your package to prevent any
problem, but you need to update your package to call the new
dh_gtkmodules tool: this tool will add a virtual dependency on the gtk
ABI via ${misc:Depends} to make the next transition easier -- only an
automatic rebuild will be needed for the next transition.
Updating your package should be relatively easy:
1) Bump up the libgtk2.0-dev build-dep to >= 2.10.1-1.
2) Call dh_gtkmodules on the package(s) shipping the module(s).
If you build a library in the same source, you might need to set
an appropriate LD_LIBRARY_PATH for dh_gtkmodules to work.
3) Make sure you have ${misc:Depends} in the dependencies of the
package(s) shipping the module(s); this should add a
gtk2.0-binver-2.10.0 dependency.
4) If your package ships "gdk-pixbuf loaders" modules or "input
methods" modules:
a) Make sure you ship the new /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/*/loader-files.d/*
and/or /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/*/immodule-files.d/* lists.
b) Remove any call to update-gdkpixbuf-loaders or
update-gtk-immodules or anything touching files in /etc/gtk-2.0
in your postinst/postrm/etc. scripts.
Please ask me if anything above isn't clear!
A concrete example of all the above changes (worst case) is libwmf;
this is how the necessary changes look like:
