Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Re: [arch-general] gnome 3.7

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

I'm sorry to have to report that gnome 3.8 from the Arch gnome-unstable
repository is currently a no go. It caused severe gdm breakage that
dropped assertion errors in my logs.

Mar 28 20:17:31 pc.kyle.tk gdm-launch-environment][2749]: GLib-CRITICAL:
g_variant_compare: assertion `!g_variant_is_container (a)' failed
Mar 28 20:17:31 pc.kyle.tk gdm-launch-environment][2749]: GLib-CRITICAL:
g_variant_compare: assertion `!g_variant_is_container (a)' failed

I was forced to remove all gnome and related packages from my system and
reinstall gnome and gnome-extra from the official repos. I will probably
try again once 3.8 reaches testing in about a week, but I'm not holding
out any hope for the next day or so in gnome-unstable. Also, it seems
that Evolution, Epiphany and Empathy are now going to be a part of the
gnome group rather than gnome-extra, so I can only hope that they can
still be removed or skipped prior to installation without breaking the
system.
