Hi John, thank you for sending me the e-mail directly, not only I forgot to subscribe but I also forgot about this report. I'm so sorry. I found a workaround to the problem by chance and I've been happily using the mate dock since then. It turns out installing 'system-config-printer' solves the issue. So I guess one of the following dependencies of system-config-printer is also a missing dependency for 'mate-dock-applet': ii gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 2.38.0+dfsg-7 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.58.3-2 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.3-1 ii gir1.2-notify-0.7 0.7.7-4 ii gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 1.1.12-1 ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.42.4-6 ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-25 ii python3 3.7.2-1 ii python3-cups 1.9.73-2+b1 ii python3-cupshelpers 1.5.11-4 ii python3-dbus 1.2.8-2+b3 ii python3-gi 3.30.4-1 ii system-config-printer-common 1.5.11-4 I suspect it is 'gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0' but I'll leave this to the maintainers. > > Could you be using Wayland by any chance, like with GNOME 3?

I know it is high, but I believe the severity was correctly set as per [1]. Whatever the problem is, it "makes the package in question unusable".

I'd be happy to provide any feedback to debug this. Running 'mate-panel' on the command line however does nothing (which was expected I guess). $ mate-panel Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. How can I create a new panel from the command line? Thanks a lot, -- Rock Storm GPG KeyID: 4096R/C96832FD GPG Fingerprint: C304 34B3 632C 464C 2FAF C741 0439 CF52 C968 32FD
