Missing dependency in gnome-do package?

[mockturtle]

I believe the update for the gnome-do package today removed a dependency on libgnome-keyring1.0-cil that GNOME Do needs to run.

Here's my story:
Today I updated the gnome-do package and then removed some other packages I no longer needed, then ran autoremove. libgnome-keyring-1.0-cil was among the removed packages. After that, GNOME Do stopped responding to the hotkey, and when I tried to access its preferences from icon in my notification area, the application crashed. I restarted GNOME Do from the terminal and saw this:

Code: Select all

I don't know much about how keys work, and I figure there's nothing wrong with posting PublicKeyToken, but just in case, I replaced the string with asterisks.

Then, when trying to access preferences, I got this exception:

Code: Select all

After re-installing libgnome-keyring1.0-cil, everything worked fine again.

I dropped by the gnome-do IRC channel, and they said they hadn't changed any of the packaging upstream, and told me to talk to my distro's packagers. This was the best place I could figure out to post this information. Hopefully this can be fixed soon!

Well done mockturtle. Reinstalling libgnome-keyring1.0-cil is all that is necessary to make 0.8 work for me.

Thanks.

OOPS: That worked initially but it didn't survive a reboot so back to drawing board I guess.

When I launch from a terminal I get this:

Code: Select all

gnome-do

That is from a root terminal, if I launch from a user terminal I get nothing at all (the cursor moves to a new line and stays there indefinitely until you close the terminal).

What's funny with this is that if I uninstall the version offered in the Linux Mint repos and install the Ubuntu version that they offer on the gnome-do launchpad page https://launchpad.net/do/+download that's labeled gnome-do_0.8.0-0~intrepid~ppa1_amd64.deb, everything works flawlessly except a couple of plugins that I suspect don't work too well in 64 bit. I suspect that something was accidentally left out in the Mint build in our repos.

Oh, and btw, I use Linux Mint 64x.

viking77: After a couple days, I have to say I'm having a similar experience. GNOME Do sometimes just crashes silently without warning. I saw a lot of errors/exceptions related to Pidgin and Window Manager plugins when I ran it from the terminal, so I disabled those two about an hour ago. We'll see how things go.

I'm still getting errors like these:

Code: Select all

(Again, I replaced the PublicKeyToken with asterisks on the off-chance that sharing it is somehow insecure.)

Don't know if it's related to the Mint build or if it's a bug on GNOME Do's end. I'm reporting in both places just in case.

Hi,

Sorry about this. The Community Repository project is still quite new and we're finding our marks.. I approved this community package to get into "import" and it should have been more tested.

gnome-do and gnome-do-plugins were now removed from the repositories.

You can go back to the old version by removing these packages, performing an "apt clean" and an "apt update", and reinstalling them.

Clem.

One thing is that it should be 2 packages and not set to all.
