G'day all, Changing the API of libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 without renaming the link completely breaks quite a few proprietary (non OSS) apps for me. Adobe Reader is one, but my Citrix client/plugin is another (I also have a partner documentation program from NetApp that also breaks). Installing the latest version of the reader from ftp.adobe.com may be a workaround for Acrobat Reader, but I like to use a repository if possible (not often for legacy proprietary stuff) and there are probably many more things out there that expect the API from a dynamic lib not to change if it is called from the same link. All of the proprietary programs that break for me are installed as 32-bit and I have installed the 32bit RPM for libpango 1.36.x downloaded from the 13.2 repositories and locked it. This way, all of the newer programs that may have dependencies on 1.38.x as time moves on will be OK since they are all 64bit, and I can still use my legacy 32bit programs. Perhaps someone can add a stub for the deprecated APIs to libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (it seems to be mainly "hb_buffer_set_cluster_level", but it may hit more after this one is resolved with a stub) or change the name of the symlink to something else (libpangoft2-1.0.so.38? and change all of the programs that link to it). Although this all sounds like a problem for upstream, it really breaks things. -- Ben Ben Holmes Customer Engineer Interactive Pty Ltd Telephone +61 7 3323 0800 Facsimile +61 7 3323 0899 Mobile +61 421 406 456 www.interactive.com.au ------Confidentiality & Legal Privilege------------- "This email is intended for the named recipient only.

Thank you very much! For the record, since I locked down the old AcroRead package, its private library installation is at
/usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/
yes, i know this is the acrored coming from the SUSE rpm. but i use the version from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/ because this version can handle digital signatures in PDFs. if you open a PDF which has digital signatures in it with the SUSE version and try to check a digital signature it complains about some missing features. the adobe downloaded version can handle the digital signature. and the adobe downloaded version installs itself in /opt/Adobe/Reader -- Best Regards | Liebe Grüße | Cordialement | Cordiali Saluti | Atenciosamente | Saludos Cordiales *Rainer Klier* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
