Hi Bill:
Thanks for your suggestions. The problem was that I had installed the
following packages:
gtk2-engines-aurora.i586
gtk2-engines-candido.i586
in my Fedora x86_64, which pulled the dependencies.
But now, I have packaged the engines Candido and Aurora for 64-bit and
then I removed all the 32-bit dependencies installed before without any
problems.
Thanks,
Germán.
