I'm reluctant to post in the appropriate xfce4 mailing list as it seems to be full of bots and autoresponders judging by the archive..
I'm a n00b to debian, so don't know the process to follow, but this is the
problem as I perceive it...
background: I just upgraded from Lenny to Sid and thunar broke. I don't have
all of xfce installed, as I just use fluxbox.
turns out that a couple of days ago a Thunar update was approved for amd64...
This meant that thunar-data_1.0.0-2_all.deb was uploaded along with new
versions of thunar and associated support packages for amd64..
Being an "all" architecture package, thunar-data_1.0.0-2 got installed on my
i386 system.
however, thunar_0.9.0-10_i386 and libthunar-vfs-1-2_0.9.0-10_i386 each
have a Depend of thunar-data (= 0.9.0-10)
so naturally, thunar-data got upgraded, thunar couldn't meet the dependencies,
and any packages depending on thunar broke. the only ones installed on my
system happened to be squeeze and xfburn.
I fixed the problem by manually installing thunar-data_0.9.0-10_all.deb with
dpkg, then following that with an "apt-get install thunar squeeze xfburn".
Is this something I've done wrong? Are there i386 packages on their way? Can I
build the packages and upload them somewhere?
