Bug 3086 requires to be fixed the upload of a new lesstif

However changing a lib is usually a very bad idea close to the
release, and it is better to know which applications are broken than
just crossing fingers blindly wishing that nothing will get broken by
a new version.

RPMS are available in http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/doc/rpms/

lesstif-0.93.40-1mdk.i586.rpm
lesstif-clients-0.93.40-1mdk.i586.rpm
lesstif-devel-0.93.40-1mdk.i586.rpm
lesstif-mwm-0.93.40-1mdk.i586.rpm

These are the applications which are depending on lesstif

xpdf:libXm.so.2
OpenDX:libXm.so.2
kdebase-nsplugins:libXm.so.2
lesstif-clients:libXm.so.2
lesstif-mwm:libXm.so.2
motv:libXm.so.2
nedit:libXm.so.2
printer-utils:libXm.so.2
stardict:libXm.so.2
xawtv-misc:libXm.so.2
grace:libXm.so.2
ddd:libXm.so.2
grass:libXm.so.2
gromacs:libXm.so.2
snd:libXm.so.2
viewmol:libXm.so.2
white_dune:libXm.so.2
xbill:libXm.so.2
xmpi:libXm.so.2

If you think this is important, please test, especially xpdf and
kdebase-nsplugins.

In past experience, if you change lesstif, kdebase (because of nsplugins) has to be rebuilt against it. As long as you do this, things are fine.


I do not favor including this change now.

Well it fixes a bug and probably works fine otherwise. I wish I could test it, I hope other people do. As long as kdebase is rebuilt afterward (probably would be, Laurent updates it all the time) it should be OK. I don't know that the other apps that depend on it actually need rebuilds.
