Hamish, this was filed as a bug already.  qthreads was not removed on
purpose.  I have already uploaded fixes for this which are sitting in
incoming now, both in unstable and frozen.  I figure they will be
incorporated shortly.  I have uploaded x86 binaries.

If you have not re-uploaded your geda already, please do not do so.  It
would prolly work but you would not have threading capabilities, which
may or may not be critical for your users.

The problem was one of subtle makefile pollution.  I was configured
guile wih no threads when building it on sparc, and did not remember
to set it back to yes before building the real packages and uploading
source.  libguile6-1.3.4-2 should contain libguile6 on all platforms
that support qthreads.

It's nice to be able to build x86 packages again on my new laptop.
Sparc rocks but it means an extra few days before most users see the
package, as they have to wait for the autobuilders.
