As part of the preparations for GNOME2, the ORBit include files have
been moved in the new 0.5.10 release (making way for ORBit2 headers).

Most packages will not be affected.  However, -dev packages which
depend on liborbit-dev may have some problems, especially if they use
the IDL compiler to generate headers.  These packages may have to be
recompiled, and I might need to add a versioned "Conflicts:" to
liborbit-dev against the old versions of some of these.

At this point, I know that libgnorba-dev is affected.  I'm not sure
what else may be.  This is something we're going to have to
investigate.  I have my suspicions about liboaf-dev and
liborbit-mt-dev.  Language bindings may bear investigation as well.

I don't think this is going to be as disruptive as, say, a major perl
upgrade, but it's going to have an impact on the stability of things
for the near future.

If you find a package that needs to be rebuilt, please let me know so
I can add any appropriate conflicts to liborbit-dev.

thanks
