[desktop-discuss] JDS Nevada Build 77 now available

[Brian Cameron]

Everyone:

Note that if you try to install JDS build 77 on a Nevada build older
than 75, that you need to update mediaLib to the Nevada 75 (or later)
packages.  This is because the GTK+ library now depends on some
new mediaLib 2.5 functionality, which was just added to Nevada
build 75.

So simply uninstall the SUNWmlib* packages on your system and replace
them from the Nevada 75 or 76 repo.

Once you've done this, then the JDS Nevada build 77 can work on
older Nevada builds.

Note there was a similar issue with libexpat (SUNWlexpt) a few builds
ago, so if you are using an old version of Nevada and want to upgrade, 
you may need to update this package also if you haven't already.
