Hi!

It's badly shaped library versioning, which you can see in FC. This is  
generally the libgmime upstream bug AND the FC distro bug.
Changing ABI without raising so-version is prohibited (strike  
upstream). But the distro builders should be aware of such upstream  
problems and fix it on their side (strike FC).

For the users: Logically if you see just upgraded program complaining  
about some gmime symbols, you should upgrade libgmime as well to  
resolve these problems.
Best regards, Ildar
