ugh, that's very old. Are you trying to use gnumeric 1.0.x, right?

yeah, you will have to upgrade those libs.

since this is a dependency of gnome-libs itself, not libgda.

can't you upgrade to GNOME 2/gnumeric 1.1.x/libgda 0.11 ? The problem
seems to be bad package dependencies on old packages (GNOME 1.4). Which
