Description Stanislav Brabec 2003-12-17 11:44:38 UTC 
According to FHS, files in /etc should not include platform dependent data,
if it is possible. In case of pango it is problem of hardcoded ModulesPath
and shared library suffix.

Fix: Do not prepend hardcoded ModulesPath and shared library suffix in
pango-querymodules.

There is an example consequence on AMD64 bi-arch installation of SuSE Linux
9.0:

When a 32bit gtk program (eg eclipse-gtk) is started, it tries to dlopen
the 64bit-libraries (even if the 32bit-libs are available) which fails.

* How to reproduce:
  
install eclipse-gtk (32bit) on AMD64 version of SuSE Linux and start it
from a terminal, lots of errors can be seen in the terminal and not a
single letter (label) is displayed in the eclipse window.

Bug 129540 has a detailed plan, but I don't think we'll get
to it for 1.4.0 at this point.
