Re: gnome-libs + Debian = chokes!

[Hawlisch Martin <hawlisch roxi rz fh-mannheim de>]

I'm using Debian too, but I don't use the packages because I ran into
version problems too. I'm now using all the stuff (glib, gtk+,
gtk-engines, imlib, audiofile, esound, ORBit, gnome-libs, ...) from CVS.
Works fine.
