I don't think you need to worry about this, GTK+ 2.6 entered testing in January this year and I've built the installation CD on my testing machine after that. In addition, gschem is part of the debian package geda-gschem so if upgrading GTK+ to 2.6 would break gschem then this would be reflected in the buildd logs of the debian package geda-gschem which I can't see that it is. The only problem I see with gEDA on debian right now is some strange circular dependency: http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=libgeda20 which is preventing the updated geda packages from entering testing. Is Hamish Moffatt on this list ? Looks like something needs to be done to get the updated packages built so they can enter testing (which will hopefully soon to released). It would be nice to resolve this now so that the latest gEDA will be part of the upcoming Debian stable release. -- Daniel Nilsson
