Have you got the gnome-common package installed? Just about all GNOME
projects I've downloaded from svn/CVS, have need

You could use apt-file to find what packages those files belong to.

Hi all
Since Ubuntu will posibly be making at-spi2 the default for Maverick, I am
currently working on updating the at-spi2 packages to the 0.3.1 release. If
there is anybody else currently working on this, please get in touch so we can
