Bug#492200: libgtk2.0-0: libgtk upgrade broke vmware

[Andreas Pakulat]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.10-2
Severity: important

Hi,

After the last upgrade of libgtk2 from 2.12.9 to 2.12.11 I can't run
vmware anymore (using their latest release). The problem is that there's
an undefined symbol in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 "g_hash_table_ref" which is
only defined in libglib. This looks like some binary compatibility issue
between the  various libs to me, but I can't be sure. Trying to replace
all libs that vmware uses with ones from debian (if they're not
installed vmware uses its own versions) doesn't help. The error I'm
seeing is this:

/usr/local/vmware/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_hash_table_ref

A patch-level upgrade shouldn't break apps in such a way, thus I'm
marking this as important.

Andreas
