[maemo-developers] libgsf-1-114 (needed to build Abiword) not found - info and sources questions

[From: Ryan Pavlik]

Those were incomplete instructions that I stopped working on once I 
realized I was duplicating effort.  I should probably even remove them 
to reduce confusion.

I'm not sure where the trouble is in finding libgsf - here's what I see 
in bora and chinook, using the VMWare SDK:
[sbox-BORA_ARMEL: ~/src/abi26] > apt-cache policy libgsf-1-114
libgsf-1-114:
  Installed: 1.14.4-1indt1
  Candidate: 1.14.4-1indt1
  Version table:
 *** 1.14.4-1indt1 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.14.3-1indt1 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages

[sbox-CHINOOK_X86: ~] > apt-cache policy libgsf-1-114
libgsf-1-114:
  Installed: 1.14.4-1indt1
  Candidate: 1.14.4-1indt1
  Version table:
 *** 1.14.4-1indt1 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.14.3-1indt1 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages

Hmm, not sure what's going on here - I haven't touched the sources.list 
but here's mine from chinook:
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86: ~] > cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free

deb file:/home/maemo/maemo-sdk-nokia-binaries_4.0 chinook explicit


Perhaps that has something to do with why I can build it and you can't?  
In such case, it should be a simple affair then of apt-get source 
libgsf-1-114 with a bora source repository available, then 
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot from inside the directory in a Chinook 
scratchbox.  Could this (apparently) wrong list of sources be 
introducing bugs in my Chinook packages of abiword?

So I guess I answer a question with what works for me and another 
question :)

PS.  If you'd like to help in AbiWord development on Maemo, please email 
the AbiWord mailing list, message me on ITT (username megabyte405), 
and/or join the Maemo Garage project at 
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/abiword  I do hope you are using the 
instructions from the SVN there and not my web site - please see the 
note mentioning the moving of the latest instructions.
