As well as the above, > I also get a lot of other errors when trying to run it (below). This was caused by wxsqlite3 switching to GTK+3. This comes into conflict with codelite which is built against GTK+2. As the error above states, you cannot load the GTK+2 and GTK+3 libraries into the same process. This change is pretty much guaranteed to break all reverse dependencies of wxsqlite3 (because any existing rdep must have been compiled against GTK+2 to function). I think it makes most sense to handle this like a normal package transition and either rename the package, or add extra packages (like wxwidgets3.0 did). If you don't do that, you'll need to add a Breaks for all your rdeps (but this won't help if any user programs outside Debian link against wxsqlite). In theory, codelite does support building against GTK+3, but I haven't tried it. The other rdep is maitreya which doesn't link against any GTK+ version directly, so in theory changing the build dependencies to the GTK+3 versions should "Just Work" :) This means you can probably get away with a rename instead of adding extra packages. It's unfortunate this took a month to discover. I guess there's not many people using these packages :/ James
