[csw-maintainers] Library problems with gnome apps

[Jeffery Small]

Hi:

I was away for two and a half weeks.  When I returned there were many new
packages released.  I have not installed everything, but I did upgrade some
of the stand-alone applications and a few libraries upon which they relied.
Now, I am finding that my firefox 3.5.3 and 3.5.5 browsers will not operate
properly.  These are the releases from the mozilla contrib website and were
working fine previously.  The browers now hang completely at any number of
operations, the brower's pull-down menus will not display and most buttons
do not operate.  This is running on the native Solaris 10 gnome desktop on
a SPARC system.

I seem to remember a similar problem developing along these lines in
the recent past, so I have some suspicion that it is related to the CSW
upgrade.  Here is a list of the packages I currently have NOT yet upgraded:

Also, I still see the berkeleydb packages here, but there is STILL no
updated sendmail package.  I broke my sendmail the last time I tried to
update the database packages and am still wondering if this compatibility
issue has been addressed.  I also see the dbus package.  There has been
an outstanding issue that keeps Solaris from properly shutting down as the
dbus service cannot be stopped.  Has that issue been addressed with this
dbus release?  These are both long-standing issues and I am wondering why
I have not heard about their successful resolution.  Did I miss some
important discussions during the past few weeks?

Thanks for any light you can shed on these issues.
