Indeed you shouldn't install mingw32-pthreads - it horribly
pollutes the global namespace & libvirt doesn't want it - we
use Win32 native threads
That would be nice, if yum didn't also insist upon removing everything
else mingw related:
Removing:
mingw32-pthreads noarch 2.8.0-10.fc13 @fedora
936 k
Removing for dependencies:
mingw32-gcc x86_64 4.4.2-2.fc13 @fedora
3.1 M
mingw32-gcc-c++ x86_64 4.4.2-2.fc13 @fedora
24 M
mingw32-gettext noarch 0.17-12.fc12 @fedora
20 M
mingw32-glib2 noarch 2.23.4-1.fc13 @fedora
7.6 M
mingw32-glibmm24 noarch 2.23.2-1.fc13 @fedora
6.4 M
mingw32-gnutls noarch 2.6.4-3.fc13 @fedora
2.4 M
mingw32-libsigc++20 noarch 2.2.4.2-1.fc12 @fedora
1.7 M
mingw32-libxml++ noarch 2.26.0-3.fc12 @fedora
1.2 M
What's weird is that I don't recall having mingw32-pthreads installed on
a 32-bit fedora 13; it must be something about the 64-bit x86_64
packages that is mistakenly sucking in this less-than-stellar package.
So, is the libvirt patch worth installing, while we wait for the
eventual fix of dependencies to not force mingw32-pthreads on 64-bit users?
