[13:14] <GunnarHj> jbicha: Hi Jeremy!
[13:14] <GunnarHj> To test my g-c-c proposal I updated the binaries built by gnome-desktop3 to version 3.27.90-1ubuntu1. However, I still have libgnome-desktop-3-12 3.26.2-1ubuntu1 too, and when I tried to remove it, apt suggested that I'd remove basically the whole desktop..
[13:14] <GunnarHj> Is that a problem, and if so, is it something you are aware of?
[13:17] <GunnarHj> jbicha: Should libgnome-desktop-3-17 provide libgnome-desktop-3-12 or something?
[13:57] <jbicha> no, we are in the middle of a gnome-desktop3 transition
[13:57] <jbicha> the new library is stuck in bionic-proposed, maybe it will migrate on Monday or Tuesday
[13:57] <jbicha> it's a bit tricky to downgrade packages like that (not officially supported)
[13:58] <jbicha> but if you're going to do it, try something like
[13:58] <jbicha> sudo apt install libgnome-desktop-3-12/bionic gnome-desktop3-data/bionic gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0/bionic
[13:59] <jbicha> an important part is that you get all the related packages together
[14:00] <jbicha> oh, I misread. Yeah, you won't be able to remove libgnome-desktop-3-12 until you get all the packages that are built against it (they are in bionic-proposed now)
[14:01] <jbicha> I don't support this PPA but you might be able to just add this PPA, upgrade and then remove the PPA (because I'll delete the PPA in a few weeks probably)

[14:29] <GunnarHj> jbicha: Thanks for explaining! I'll won't add that PPA - don't want to get so deeply involved in the transition. Now I know that everything is under control, and that's why I asked. :)
[14:45] <jbicha> gnome-desktop3 was supposed to be an easy transition (see everything worked in the PPA) but it's ended up taking us several hours of work
[14:46] <jbicha> two MIRs need to be processed and some packages removed and the mesa transition to finish
[16:29] <GunnarHj> jbicha: Oops, sounds like I stumbled upon a can of worms.
[16:31] <GunnarHj> jbicha: Any thoughts from you on
