The patch will be installed in this case (and this fact recorded).

You can check the versions of the packages in the upper-right window. I guess one or more might not be fulfilled yet, while others are. > > > The final aspect is specific to gtk2.

You can still debug it and the debugger will show a backtrace at least, its just that the debuginfo package cannot be used. (The reason we leave them out is just bandwith and diskspace issues.)
