Oneiric package built against old Gnome2 libraries, package unusable

[Matthias Klose]

This is not the correct way to report/ask for an issue. It has nothing to do
with ubuntu-archive.

You did file the report for the *upstream* project, it didn't show up in Ubuntu.
Now done. A better place might be to ask on ubuntu-devel-discuss. Ubuntu doesn't
know about binNMUs, so this has to be re-uploaded with no changes.
