Googleearth assassinated by recent libphonon.so.4 update

[Almost-retired]

Now I am getting this error when I attempt to start googleearth:

[gene@coyote Documents]$ googleearth
./googleearth-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libphonon.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN9QMetaType15registerTypedefEPKci

And of course it doesn't run.  It ran fine about 2 weeks ago.

Any chance of getting that, apache and ssh updated?  rkhunter is complaining about the latter two, and has been for several weeks:

/etc/cron.daily/rkhunter:
Warning: Suspicious file types found in /dev:
         /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_REL_root: data
         /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_WritePrefs_root: data
         /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_ReadPrefs_root: data
Warning: Application 'httpd', version '2.2.16', is out of date, and possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'sshd', version '5.5p1', is out of date, and possibly a security risk.

I used acroread which made the /dev/shm stuff.  Not deletable unless I reboot.  Shrug.

I don't worry about them too much, I am behind an x86 version of dd-wrt.  ;-)

Thanks all.

I'd sure say it was the same problem, it waddles & quacks like the same duck to me.

I wonder how long it will take to get GE6 whipped into submission?

Or, should that function be restored to libphonon?

Let me add a secondary comment about a 4th package that is being a PIMA because I have to cancel its install over tar-1.23 every time I update.  1.24 and 1.25 are both broken for amanda's use.  Hopefully the amanda crew has submitted a test case to gnu-org that shows the failure, and the gnu-org will hold off on 1.16 until its been fixed.  1.24 broke a lot of stuff, 1.25 was rushed out & didn't to my knowledge fix a thing, so we've been warming up that mailing list about it occasionally.  Perhaps you should check with Jean-Louis at amanda.org before dropping any new tars in the pclos repo's?

Last but perhaps not least, a question?

How many users would you say that pclos has?  This has been the most stable and generally trouble free distro I have ever installed, and I _have_ been yakking it up on other lists, and I would not be at all adverse (TANSTAAFL) to a per user donation request to help support this effort, on either an annual basis or perhaps a shorter period, something that I could hopefully just set my bank schedule up to do at intervals if its not an international M.O. situation.  This shouldn't equate to a fee that looks like red hats per seat fee since this retired old fart is on Social Security, but if enough of us were to toss $100 USD a year in the kitty, would that not help at least enough to support person watching a mailing list?

Are there that many of us?

Thanks Guy & Gals.

Any time things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.

I see google earth 6 made it through the mine field a week or more back, many thanks.
