I am not sure exactly what the issue is with pidgin, but if it's just a concern about availability of glib 2.0, then there is no need for concern. Glib 2.0 is still there, it's just been updated to use 64 bit time_t to avoid the 2038 problem. The change breaks the ABI, which means that packages that are dependent on glib 2.0 need to be rebuilt, that's all. Pidgin is available in the repository and presumably has already been rebuilt. xpra breakage seems to be unrelated to glib after all, it's just that the last version that built successfully and is in the debian repository was built against 32 bit time_t version of glib 2.0. The version of xpra in debian is too old to be really useful in any case (if I remember rightly it is version 3.something, and the latest version is 6.something). Ed
