Continuing the thread by talking to myself. This has been fixed and
I've asked if we can get it tagged into the F11 beta.

As another follow up to this the gnome-python2-evince package (needed
from sugar-read) incorrectly required evince-devel which in turn pulls
in a chunk of the devel stack plus perl, I've filed RH bug 490112 to
get this fixed so hopefully it should be done before too long. If you
think its work doing quickly it might be worthwhile adding it to the
F11Beta tracker.

As a followup to this email I filed bugs for the two issues above, I
was given permission to fix libgnomeprint22 (BZ 489227) which has been
done and should show up in the next rawhide. Still awaiting response
for the deltarpm one (BZ 489231). I can create a patch for the
kickstart if that makes it easier for you too.

Cheers,
Peter
