I found the conversation.. I've never deleted anything from the gmail account. woohoo! It paid off. I have to downgrade to the pkg on the 9.3 disks. I suppose that will make it impossible to upgrade ANY gnome program with apt. *sigh* Wonderful.
But doesn't explain why root is not affected. This fact makes the solution possibly wrong.
Does not concern apt. Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt.conf add: Hold { "glib" };
and apt will no upgrade glib or packages depending on the present glib level.
Then you can remove the line when the affected apps have been corrected or glib has been corrected.
STILL wondering why root didn't suffer....... Same file system. Could it possibly be a configuration that should change with the new glib?
Yeah. I know I can hold glib via the conf file.. but that's what I'm talking about.. nothing that depends on glib will be upgraded which sucks. I'm not sure why root isn't effected. I also forgot to mention that if I make another user and do an "ssh -X <newuser> and start say.. gqview.. it shows up fine but if I login as that new user.. the menus are black. It's REALLY screwy. I'll just downgrade and see if that fixes the issue. Maybe the pkg will be fixed soon... that is if someone is paying attention. I don't know if the powers that be will figure it out based on the fact that if this is happening to several of us.. it means they didn't test this at all. It's quite apparent. -Ben -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
