Any application that uses libgdl on F14 segfaults on startup.
Any? That would mean it would have been easy to test whether the update
works at all, but either it has been marked stable without any testing
or at a time when it worked:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libgdl-2.31.3-1.fc14
Quoting from an upstream bug report filed against Anjuta for the
same
issue I'm seeing on F14....
"Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32 will ship gdl 2.30.x.
Actually the gdl 2.31.x was superseeded with gdl 2.90.x which will ship
with GNOME 3.0 and uses gtk+-3.0 but won't work with anjuta yet as we
don't use gtk+-3.0.
So please use gdl 2.30.x for now."
I filed a Fedora bug report over two weeks ago, but have had no response
from the Fedora maintainer for libgdl. If someone else has the time, can
we please get this issue fixed.
Upstream Anjuta bug report I found about the same issue.

Fedora bug I filed against libgdl.

There's a package related RFE in bugzilla which is unanswered since June.
The package is assigned to only one person:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/libgdl
If a downgrade (with an Epoch bump) is the only way forward, it would
still be good to have the current packager comment on that. Or somebody
who is familiar enough with libgdl and would also show interest in
joining Fedora's group of packagers in order to help with libgdl and
related packages.
