[SOLVED] Upgrade Conflicts - Gnome's Fault?

I just enabled the testing repo and upgraded to what appears to be Gnome 2.24(parts of?).  Most things appear to be working fine.  The only two things I noticed that broke are gnome-do and AWN.

Let's look at gnome-do first.  When run from the terminal it clearly shows that it's loking for gconf-sharp 2.22 which is now 2.24.  I tried re-installing the old package from my pacman cache but now there are several programs using gconf 2.24.  So I guess my only option is to wait until gnome-do updates to 2.24...is that correct?

Secondly AWN is no longer working but its error is a bit more cryptic...

avant-window-navigator: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-desktop-2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'd imagine this is something along the same lines?

Any confirmation of my theories or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrade Conflicts - Gnome's Fault?

gnome-desktop is a .so bump, so packages linking to it need to be rebuild. The community repo does not get rebuild against testing repo so if you use testing you should do that yourself. Look into ABS for that.

Similar for gnome-do. Just rebuild it.
Alternatively you can upgrade everything back to core/extra.

That did it, fixed both problems. 

This was the first time I ever used the ABS system, and I have to say I am impressed.

Thanks again.
