PomoDoneApp ... pango downgrade causes nautilus and gnome to stop loading on Fedora 33

[MagicRedDeer]

Initially the fix offered for Fedora 32 seemed to work on Fedora 33 as well! Since Pomodoneapp as started to launch. However, subsequently, the nautilus file manager started throwing the following error and failed to start:

nautilus: symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: pango_attr_insert_hyphens_new

Furthermore, it caused the Gnome Desktop Manager to get stuck at boot. The Gnome Desktop Manager successfully loads if the pango library is restored to the current version from the @updates repository.

This is a deal breaker for now although you can always resort to using the web application from the web browser. Contacting the help@pomodoneapp.com advised me to wait for version 2.0 release which has no definite time line as of now.

Thanks for posting the Fixes btw 👍

I actually went through the exact same rigmarole with the Pomodone support, they pointed me here and said that still there is no timeline for 2.0. I'm on Fedora 34, trying the downgrade actully warns me that it would need to remove gnome-shell altogether, it was already not viable on 33 and got turned up a notch. This doesn't even warrant waiting for 2.0, I think, the fix is downgrade to 1.43, my current pango version is 1.48, upgrading to a minor version should not lead to breakage, specially because unicode support is mostly adding previously unsopperted icons and refining the way they are displayed, right?

Seems like the linux user base isn't generating that much revenue or they lost some talent that used to manage this stuff.
