The real question on this one is going to be what does it impact:

$ apt-cache rdepends libgdl-1-0
libgdl-1-0
Reverse Depends:
  libgbf-1-0
  python-gnome2-extras-dbg
  python-gnome2-extras
  libgdl-1-dev
  libgdl-1-common

$ apt-cache rdepends python-gnome2-extras
python-gnome2-extras
Reverse Depends:
  istanbul
  straw
  specto
  sonata
  solfege
  service-discovery-applet
  revelation
  pygmy
  pida
  penguintv
  ontv
  meld
  mboxcheck-applet
  listen
  istanbul
  gvrng
  gtk-recordmydesktop
  griffith
  gramps
  gnome-blog
  gnochm
  gmail-notify
  glom
  freespeak
  freeloader
  foomatic-gui
  exaile
  eikazo
  democracyplayer
  apoo
  serpentine
  python-gtkhtml2
  python-gtkhtml2
  python-gnome2-extras-dev
  python-gnome2-extras-dbg
  python-gnome2-desktop
  python-gnome2-desktop
  deskbar-applet

Either we need to find a way to make anjuta work the the current libgdl or all these things have to be tested before we can backport it.

[Scott Sweeny (ssweeny)]

That version of libgdl is listed specifically in the release announcement[1] and checked for in the configure script, so my guess is it's non-negotiable.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

OK. Then I'm going to need some comfort that this other stuff isn't going to break if we backport the library.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Ok, I am closing this bug as incomplete on suspicion of breakage. If you can supply evidence that this backport will not cause backwards-compatibility issues, then reopen this bug report.

[Scott Sweeny (ssweeny)]

I've tested istanbul, solfege, gramps, exaile, democracyplayer, and deskbar applet with no trouble.
