[GNOME] Incomplete 3.12 packages

[derekstavis]

Today I've issued a `pacman -Syu` and got gnome/gnome-extra packages
upgraded from 3.10 to 3.12, but when I rebooted gdm doesn't shown up.

I have checked the packages and some of them hasn't updated to 3.12.

Is this a common scenario? There shouldn't be a dependency-check mechanism that prevents this problem?

[WarheadsSE]

Could you please list the packages this happened to?

It does look like there were a few oddities in the build system, and those are being resolved currently (gnome-shell and gdm)

')

As you can see, there's a mix between 3.10 and 3.12 packages.

[WarheadsSE]

Yes, this looks there were some circular dependencies, which occasionally happen upstream, but aren't documented. This is in the farm at the moment to fix those.

[kmihelich]

Fixed now.

[derekstavis]

Perfect. libgdm, gdm and gnome-desktop were updated.

All working nice again!!! Thanks!!!
