gnome 2.2 is stable and marked as such for x86, as announced on the |

mainpage. And the gnome meta package has been marked stable as last |
3 |
package after all of it's deps, so i dunno what's going on your side but |

it's no good. Either you getting your tree from a faulty rsync or you |

might see problems like in bug #15436 due to a GRP install (something |
6 |
which should be looked into). |
