The current version of gnomemeeting cannot be reinstalled, as the versions of libopenh323 and libpt are incompatible with the last version. Downgrading does NOT work. Reaseon: When downgrading to libopenh323 ans libpt (1.8.2 -> 1.8.1) , apt wants to deinstall libplugin-xxx, too. Reason: libplugin-xxx requires version 1.8.2 , NOT 1.8.1 . So, it is a dependency problem either with gnomemeeting oder libpt and libopenh323.

There is no workaround yet.

Greetings

Hans

Hans,

The problem is not that the gnomeeting is uninstallable,=20
but that when installing, a lot of other "unrelated" software (in fact is=20
related) breaks and want to uninstall, true? The workaround to installing t=
he=20
current version of gnomeeting is to use the libraries from the etch/testing=
=20
distribution, or even the sarge/stable distribution. They all have the same=
=20
version of gnomemeeting. This issue has already been reported at=20
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D318679

This is the intended behaviour.

This is provoked by the C++ ABI transition. For example, gnomemeeting depen=
ds=20
on a lot of C++ libraries. Until all its C++ build dependencies have been=20
fulfilled (i.e., recompiled with GCC suite 4.0), the pkg-voip-maintainers=20
team will not upload new packages. This includes recompiling against new=20
openh323 packages (and thus depending on the new pwlib package).

This is not a bug, this is the unstable nature of the ... "unstable" (i.e.=
=20
sid) distribution. Sid is intended to break from time to time (like now).

If you cannot afford the last sid changes, either halt all the gnomemeeting=
=20
packages upgrade, and the affected packages (each day it will present new=20
problems), and wait a week or so, or move to testing/etch for a calmer life.

Mark

Thanks to David Mart=EDnez Moreno for the words..
