uggested advisory: =================== This drakxtools update fixes various issues, mainly several crashes in drakfont (mga#13627, mga#9347, mga#13363, the first one being a regression due to the gtk+2 -> gtk+3 switch). It also fixes icons being clipped in banners at top of tools(mga#12358). Last but not least, localedrake won't try anymore to install non existant scim-googlepinyin package for Chinese users (mga#6681). How to reproduce: ================== For first (main) issue: - run drakfont --windows_import (with a MS partition mounted) => it crashes - run drakfont, click on "uninstall", select a font to remove (best a one that you don't use), and delete it => it crashes - run drakfont --testing => it crashes Once the packages are updated, those don't crash anymore For the icon issue, just run eg: rpmdrake. You'll the icon is no more truncated at left in banner at top of tool. List of packages: ================== drakx-finish-install-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm drakxtools-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm drakxtools-backend-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm drakxtools-curses-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm drakxtools-http-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm harddrake-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm harddrake-ui-16.26.14-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm + s/x86_64/i586/ for 32bit Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
MGA4-32-OK The drakfont does not crash anymore. (tested with a generic ttf font in media/windows/fonts dir) The rpmdrake icon is OK

According to bug 15996 drakfont doesn't work as it should.

That's orthogonal to the fact that several crashes were fixed.
(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #3) > That's orthogonal to the fact that several crashes were fixed. Indeed, but to a user who'd read the advisory (granted, since they don't appear in MageiaUpdate there's little chance), that would appear like we haven't tested our update: it doesn't crash but it doesn't work, no difference to a user. Anyway, I'm not saying we must retain this update. Fixing the drakconf issue would be better, but if you can't fix it in this update we'll do with another later.
Several drakfont feature that didn't work now work again What's the issue with drakconf? Also drakconf != drakxtools
Oops I meant drakfont :)
