Hi,

another thought:

Do we really need libgthread-2.0 for the gimp-plugin-registry? If not, to me it's better to remove it by the patch 'g_thread_init' function to fix FTBFS or so but for now I prefer the solution I mentioned.

The question is: What is the author's intention? Are dependencies of certain code really required? IMHO as a packager I have to do anything for building the package without remove source code via patch or making workarounds.

In this special case the author's intention is: I need g_thread_init. Basta! Therefore it has to be the packagers intension to look for errors in the surrounding build system, i.e. Gnu Autotools.

OMG! What an English. Excuse me, I'm a German.

Cheers

Otto
